Opis: Tempus 1988, str.192, stan bdb- (przykurzona podniszczona obwoluta) ISBN 978-0-7524-4244-0 In 1739, Captain Thomas Coram was dismayed at the sight of children dying on the dung heaps of London. These foundlings and orphans were products of a poverty-stricken society where the attitude towards babies born outside of wedlock meant a life of rejection and inferiority. After 17 years of campaigning, Coram managed to persuade sufficient 'persons of quality and distinction' to support his petition to the King to grant a Royal Charter for the building of the Foundling Hospital in a green field site in Bloomsbury. Over the next few years, children were brought to the Foundling Hospital for shelter. Once there, they were provided with excellent health care and education fit for their station in life before apprenticing the boys to learn a trade and the girls to domestic service. This fascinating history of the first children's charity charts the rise of this incredible institution, from its conception to the present day. It explores the relationship between the Foundling Hospital and two of the artistic giants of the eighteenth century - the artist William Hogarth and the composer George Frideric Handel, both of whom helped to raise substantia] sums of money tor the charity and both of whom became governors. In the nineteenth century. Charles Dickens was inspired by his regular visits to the hospital and incorporated what he saw into several of his novels. Examining the attitude towards illegitimate children over the years and reliving the experience through the voices of past children of the hospital, this book is a fascinating social history of one of London's oldest charitable institutions - and how one man's vision offered a better way of life for thousands of children, a vision that is sill alive today through the work of Coram Family. Gillian Pugh retired in 2005 after eight years as chief executive of Coram Family. She is currently working as advisor to the government and to local authorities on children's services and is visiting professor at the Institute of Education in London and chair of the National Children's Bureau. She was awarded the DB£ in 2005 for services to children and families.
