However, popular and scholarly narratives of the Famine have largely overlooked Dublin. This collection of essays breaks new ground in reconsidering the Famine and its historiography by focusing solely on Dublin and its inhabitants. The thirteen contributors provide an interdisciplinary range of perspectives on such diverse topics as business life and industry in Dublin, the impact of the Famine on the city's charity and welfare landscapes, suicide and trauma during this time of acute crisis, the experiences of marginalized populations in prisons and hospitals, and cultural representations of Famine-era Dublin. The book examines both direct and indirect impacts of the Famine on the city, noting promising future areas of research, and arguing for the reinvigoration of urban histories with Famine studies. \u003ci\u003eDublin and the Great Irish Famine\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates an overlooked but essential dimension of Irish history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15080658\"\u003eEmily Mark-Fitzgerald\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University College Dublin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 7.09w x 1.18d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910820773\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910820776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS018000\"\u003eEurope | Ireland\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmily Mark-FitzGerald\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of art history and cultural policy at University College Dublin. \u003cb\u003eCiarán McCabe\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer in modern Irish history at Queen's University Belfast. \u003cb\u003eCiarán Reilly\u003c\/b\u003e is a historian of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Irish history at the Arts \u0026amp; Humanities Institute at Maynooth University.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University College Dublin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44543691129069,"sku":"9781910820773","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_c5ea6baa-699d-40ec-863c-bef01b7e7e24.jpg?v=1701545794","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/dublin-and-the-great-irish-famine-9781910820773","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
