The social city : the general hospitals of the French Northern provinces in the age of Enlightenment

Abstract

The obligation (bond) made for people of law to lead (drive) the beggars in the prisons of the closest city raises the question of the confinement in the big cities (estates) of the provinces of the North. In France, the royal State believes to remedy these difficulties by the edict of June, 1662 ordering the creation of a general hospital in every city of the kingdom. The provinces of the North escape this movement up to the first third (third party) of the XVIIIth century. For the XVIth century, the assistance (audience) rests(bases) mostly on the Tables of the poor men there, charitable institutions were placed under the supervision (guardianship) of the Magistrates or people of law. After the wars of succession of Poland and Succession of Austria and under the influence of a new population growth, the northern provinces are confronted with an outbreak of the begging the scale of which questions brutally the efficiency of the model of assistance (audience) hispano - tridentin. The royal power strengthens just like that the repressive regulatory framework, arrests multiply and reveal the incapacity of the traditional structures of confinement. From the 1730s, the administrators (directors) of the main cities of the French Netherlands wish for a new shape of coverage (care) of the pauperism. The local authorities turn (shoot) then to the example of the general hospitals.
