| Publisher Description: Bypassing current debates on historical revisionism, this book reconsiders the Famine of the 1840s from a variety of perspectives, theological, literary, feminist, demographic, medical, etc., Incorporating these viewpoints with more conventional forms of cultural and political history. In bringing together this range of approaches, the volume constitutes an important contribution to the current reassessment of one of the most traumatic events in Irish history. |
