Article analysis:

The article is generally reliable and trustworthy, as it provides evidence for its claims through both quantitative text analysis and process tracing in case studies. The authors also provide a comprehensive overview of the literature on welfare state development in Britain, Denmark and France, which helps to contextualize their argument. Furthermore, they acknowledge potential biases in their data by noting that influences on the cultural symbols and narratives comprising the cultural constraint derive from authors’ ‘real’ life experiences as well as their creative renderings of reality.

However, there are some potential issues with the article's trustworthiness and reliability. For example, while the authors note that France relied largely on the Catholic Church for poor supports until the late nineteenth century, they do not explore other religious or non-religious sources of support that may have been available at this time. Additionally, while they acknowledge that authors inherit symbols and narratives from the past when constructing national corpora of fiction, they do not discuss how this might affect their findings or how it could be accounted for in their analysis. Finally, while they provide evidence for their claims through quantitative text analysis and process tracing in case studies, they do not discuss any potential limitations or drawbacks associated with these methods that could affect their results or conclusions.
