内容説明

This work strives to understand the great Irish Famine of 1845 to 1850. Chapters on famine historiography and on writing the famine show that a "media studies" approach opens up new areas of debate. Connections between the Famine and the reshaping of Irish family life become clear through an exploration of one man's response to the crisis: Vere Foster's emigration schemes. Chapters on the responses and experiences of the Irish communities throughout the world include studies of North America, Australia and the Famine refugees who fled to England. This volume concludes with a study of the Irish Famine's world-wide place in famine history and theory.
