Journal Article
Charity and the Government of the Poor in the English Charity-School Movement, circa 1700–1730
2010
Overview
Schmidt uses the history of political thought to offer a new history of the English charity-school movement of the early eighteenth century. Charity schools offer an important case study for understanding the complicated ways in which social hierarchy, authority, and mutual obligation were construed in the early eighteenth century. Relying on both the homiletic literature on charity and the administrative records of the charity schools themselves, he builds a case for using the charity schools projects as a key means for understanding the complicated connections between early modern ideals of authority and obligation. Ideals of natural law, philanthropy, and paternalism both animated and were challenged by the practical challenges of instituting charity schools.
