Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to reconstruct the transformation of poor laws in precapitalist England based on Lorie Charlesworth’s work Welfare’s Forgotten Past. The substantial contexts of this reconstruction are the history of enclosures and commons as well as the concept of so-called primitive accumulation, originating from Karl Marx. The major scope of interest is the conjunction of the loss of the poor’s subjective rights and the penalization of the poor according to vagrancy laws.
