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 Emily Mark-Fitzgerald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910820776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910820773\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University College Dublin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\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","brand":"Emily Mark-Fitzgerald","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44133218550015,"sku":"9781910820773","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b3ae653-6304-408e-8594-5039d85e3fa3.jpg?v=1687484787","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dublin-and-the-great-irish-emily-mark-fitzgerald-9781910820773","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
