    摘要、提要註: Agrarian Capitalism and Poor Relief in England, 1500-1860 examines the evolution of public assistance for the poor in England from the latemedieval era to the Industrial Revolution. Placing poor relief in the context of the unprecedented class relations of agrarian capitalism andthe rise of aunique non-absolutist state, it accounts for why relief in England was distinct, with comparisons made to Scotland, Ireland, France and Germany. The author argues that poor relief was a substitute foraccess to land and common rights, a virtual exchange of money as compensation for the creation of absolute private property. In a work bothchallenging and provocative, Larry Patriquin makes a case fora class-based reinterpretation of the origins of the welfare state. Clearly written and well organized, this new explanation of the 'great transformation' will contribute to debates in British history, Marxism, social welfare, historiography, theories of the state, and the transition to capitalism.
