Thesis (Ph.D.)--Yale University, 1998.

Although poor relief again became a municipal responsibility following the Revolution, as it had been during the ancien regime, most studies of poverty in France during the nineteenth century have dealt thematically with central policy, with certain institutions, or with specific areas of social reform. In contrast, this study presents as complete a picture as possible of social welfare and private charity in one French city, Poitiers, from 1820 to 1848, while integrating it into larger debates about politics and social policy. Because France was still predominately agricultural and cities were typically not large, Poitiers, as a medium-sized city located in an isolated, rural area, presents a more characteristic picture of social welfare and charity institutions in France during this period than do big urban and industrial centers.

520 $a Although poor relief again became a municipal responsibility following the Revolution, as it had been during the ancien regime, most studies of poverty in France during the nineteenth century have dealt thematically with central policy, with certain institutions, or with specific areas of social reform. In contrast, this study presents as complete a picture as possible of social welfare and private charity in one French city, Poitiers, from 1820 to 1848, while integrating it into larger debates about politics and social policy. Because France was still predominately agricultural and cities were typically not large, Poitiers, as a medium-sized city located in an isolated, rural area, presents a more characteristic picture of social welfare and charity institutions in France during this period than do big urban and industrial centers.
520 $a The local funding and administration of social welfare permitted poor relief to evolve according to local needs, but it also perpetuated vast differences in incomes and conditions within French charitable institutions. The persistence of regional differences produced the possibility of creativity but also was a source of conflict as different groups at the national and local level vied to strengthen their social positions and power. Within this context, the relationships between national and local government officials are of primary importance and reveal the gaps between social legislation and its implementation. This study also demonstrates the significance of civic culture and local politics in the shaping of public and private charity throughout the first half of the nineteenth century.
520 $a As the central governments of the Restoration and July Monarchy did not directly participate in the financing or administration of the nation's primary social welfare institutions, studying charity at the local level offers one of the best ways to understand and to assess the social policies of these two regimes. Unfortunately, neither the Restoration nor the July Monarchy made any substantive improvements in the French social welfare system. The example of Poitiers demonstrates that neither public nor private assistance proved capable of truly changing the circumstances of the poor in France during this period.
