Book Description
In Ireland, a nation long torn by rancour dividing Catholics and many Protestants, one Protestant sect has consistently been held in affection by the Catholic Irish: the Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers. From their arrival in Ireland in 1654, Quaker responses to the condition of Ireland were positive and always distinctive. Both Irish and English Friends were actively concerned with the welfare of the population, much of which seemed sunk in eternal poverty. Their concern was especially evident in the nineteenth century, particularly during the overwhelming crisis of the 1846-49 Famine, when Quakers mounted a massive relief program.

The History of the Irish Famine
Author: Christine KinealyPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1315513633
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 403
Book Description
The Great Irish Famine remains one of the most lethal famines in modern world history and a watershed moment in the development of modern Ireland – socially, politically, demographically and culturally. In the space of only four years, Ireland lost twenty-five per cent of its population as a consequence of starvation, disease and large-scale emigration. Certain aspects of the Famine remain contested and controversial, for example the issue of the British government’s culpability, proselytism, and the reception of emigrants. However, recent historiographical focus on this famine has overshadowed the impact of other periods of subsistence crisis, both before 1845 and after 1852. This volume seeks to counterbalance the recent historiographical focus on the Great Irish Famine which has overshadowed the impact of other periods of subsistence crisis, both before 1845 and after 1852. As occurred during the Great Famine, they often resulted in increased levels of evictions, emigration, disease and death, although the scale was lower. While the Great Famine brought major economic, social and demographic changes, large areas of the country retained pre-famine structures with many communities continuing to have a subsistence existence and, consequently, regular crop failures and famines. These lesser known famines are examined in this volume along with the causes and why they did not achieve the scale of the Great Famine.
