The Childhood of the Poor is written by A. Levene and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1137009519 (ISBN 10) and 9781137009517 (ISBN 13).

Was there a notion of childhood for the labouring classes, and was it distinctive from that of the elite? Examining pauper childhood, family life and societal reform, Levene asks whether new models of childhood in the eighteenth century affected the treatment of the young poor, and reveals how they and their families were helped through hard times.
