Book Overview
Some Account of St. Mary's Home for Penitents at Wantage offers a detailed glimpse into the workings of a 19th-century English institution dedicated to the rehabilitation of women. Written by the Chaplain, T. Vincent, the account provides insights into the daily life, religious instruction, and social reform efforts undertaken at St. Mary's. This historical record sheds light on Victorian attitudes towards morality, social welfare, and the role of religious organizations in addressing societal challenges.
Readers interested in the history of social work, religious communities, or women's studies will find this a valuable resource. The book captures a specific moment in time and offers a window into the lives of both the caregivers and those under their care at St. Mary's Home.
