Fills a considerable gap in our understanding of contemporary attitudes towards institutional welfare
Explores the possibility that a concerted ‘movement’ existed that sought to place pressure on those with responsibility for workhouse administration
Identifies a workhouse reform ‘movement’ beyond the obvious candidates of the Workhouse Visiting Society and the voices of popular critics such as Charles Dickens and Florence Nightingale
