In the 1750s, Henry Fielding writes his Enquiry into the Increase of Robbers, where the humorous novelist gives way to a gloomy moralist connecting poverty with crime. His Proposals for the Poor recommends the building of a huge workhouse where paupers and prisoners would be submitted to forced labour.
