Yates, M., 'Rebellious vagrants: fires, fights and fisticuffs at the Mansfield Union in the mid-late Victorian period', Midland History, , 2021, 301-317.
(Notes: Bibliographical references. 'Often depicted as incorrigible rogues and criminal vagabonds, vagrants played a key role in the distribution of welfare in the nineteenth century. Vagrants were viewed as the archetype of an undeserving
poor person. Yet, the same punitive legislation that aimed to deter them, mandated that they should receive some form of indoor workhouse relief. This new study explores the tensions in the didactic problem of vagrancy encounters. Exploration of the reasons behind vagrant rebellion, through covert and overt actions is best suited to a refined case-study analysis of Mansfield poor law union, where an abundance of radical cases have been overlooked and undervalued. This refinement of an under-researched and often misunderstood field of study will identify the poor law rhetoric behind the making of the vagrant criminal and its social realities in the midlands.' | Publication type: Article in serial | Place: Mansfield | Subject: Local government and services > Poor law and poor relief > Vagrancy | eBook: DOI: 10.1080/0047729X.2021.1975232 | ISBN/ISSN: | Id number: 13177)
Amos, D. M., 'Conscientious objectors: men of Nottinghamshire who failed the call to arms, 1914-18', Midland History, 45(1), 2020, 95-110.
(Notes: Bibliographical references. 'The First World War, 1914-1918, was sudden and took everyone by surprise. After the retreat of the British Expeditionary Force with great loss of life in August 1914, it became evident that many more men
would be needed to fight. The Derby Scheme of 1915 for voluntary enlistment, failed to recruit enough men and in March 1916 the Liberal Government reluctantly introduced conscription under the Military Service Act. The majority of eligible men enlisted but some, conscientious objectors, refused on grounds of religion or political beliefs. Their only way to contest the call up was to go before a local Military Service Tribunal who would decide if they were eligible to be exempt, given a non-combatant role or ordered to join a regiment. Using local studies of the men who refused to fight, this article examines the extent of conscientious objection in Nottinghamshire.' | Publication type: Article in serial | Place: Nottinghamshire | Subject: Military history > Conscientious objectors | eBook: DOI: 10.1080/0047729X.2020.1712076 | ISBN/ISSN: | Id number: 13176)
