- This 54 page article distils the results of over four years of research based on close study of thousands of documents from regional and state archives. It innovatively connect two much studied fields – the history of print and the history of early modern poor relief – contributing to both. The findings (which derive from quantitative, legal, prosopograpical, and material-cultural research) are then employed to reconsider the role of print in the processes of state formation. The research moves away from the usual paradigm which emphasises state power to uncover the roles of supply and demand within changing legal frameworks.
