" - a valuable and engaging contribution to historical debates about labor, poverty, relief, and belonging - [The papers] are written by leaders in their fields - and pulled together [by the editors] in an elegant and convincing treatment of the case for such a geographical spread." * Alannah Tomkins, University of Keele " - a very valuable collection of articles on an important subject of social history in the long period running from the end of the Middle Ages to the 20th century - [Of particular interest] for an Anglo-American readership is the innovative comparative perspective that must be seen as a substantial contribution to the ongoing international research on poverty, poor relief and migration in Europe - All articles are of good, very good or outstanding academic quality." * Lutz Raphael, Trier University
