The Great Irish Famine and Social Class : Conflicts, Responsibilities, Representations Paperback / softback
Edited by Marguerite Corporaal, Peter Gray
Part of the Reimagining Ireland series
Paperback / softback
Description
The sesquicentenary of the Great Irish Famine saw the emergence of seminal, often revisionist, scholarship addressing the impact of the catastrophe on Ireland’s economy (including its relations with Britain) and investigating topics such as the suffering of the rural classes, landlord and tenant relations, Poor Laws and relief operations.
The Great Irish Famine and Social Class represents a significant new stage in Irish Famine scholarship, adopting a broader interdisciplinary approach that includes ground-breaking demographical, economic, cultural and literary research on poverty, poor relief and class relations during one of Europe’s most devastating food crises.
The volume incorporates a comparative European framework, as well as exploring the issue of class in relation to the British and North American Famine diaspora.
