本文使用的数据来自监督的帐户和支持文件，在36个教区分布在四个英国县，回答三个基本问题。首先，从18世纪末到19世纪30年代新济贫法实施期间，旧济贫法下的护理劳动力的性质、程度、结构、活动范围和报酬是什么？第二，贫困病人护理支出的规模和性质是否存在区域和区域内差异？第三，如何解释这种差异？文章认为，护理成为一个越来越重要的类别，从18世纪后期的穷人法的支出，但有显着的变化，并（特别是）之间的狭隘的态度，为生病的穷人提供护理的英国县。这些差异可以通过应用一个解释变量矩阵来解释，从次要的（教区如何定义“护理”的差异）到主要的（对教区居民对生病同胞的责任的长期文化态度和对生病穷人的根深蒂固的期望）。文章还抛出了新的光女性劳动力参与的隐藏方面，指出专业护理网络的发展早在世纪后期。
This article uses data drawn from the overseers' accounts and supporting documentation in thirty-six parishes spread over four English counties, to answer three basic questions. First, what was the character, extent, structure, range of activities, and remuneration of the nursing labor force under the Old Poor Law between the late eighteenth century and the implementation of the New Poor Law in the 1830s? Second, were there regional and intra-regional differences in the scale and nature of spending on nursing care for the sick poor? Third, how might one explain such differences? The article suggests that nursing became an increasingly important category of spending for the poor law from the later eighteenth century, but that there were significant variations within and (particularly) between English counties in parochial attitudes toward the provision of nursing for the sick poor. These variations can be explained by applying a matrix of explanatory variables ranging from the minor (differences in how parishes defined “nursing”) through to the major (long-standing cultural attitudes toward the responsibility of parishioners to their sick compatriots and the ingrained expectations of the sick poor). The article also throws new light on the hidden aspects of female labor force participation, pointing to the development of professional nursing networks long before the later nineteenth century.
