Ireland's Great Famine generated Western Europe's most devastating
social crisis of the nineteenth century, a crisis that created
enormous and transformational upheaval. In Travel Narratives of the
Irish Famine: Politics, Tourism, and Scandal, 1845-1853, author
Catherine Nealy Judd proposes that a new literary genre emerged
from the crucible of the Great Famine, that is, the Irish Famine
travelogue. In her keenly argued and thoroughly researched book,
Judd contends that previous scrutiny of Famine travel narratives
has been overly broad, peripheral, or has tended to group Famine
travelogues into an undi erentiated whole. Judd invites us to
consider Famine-era travel narratives as comprising a unique
subgenre within the larger discursive - eld of travel literature.
Here Judd argues that the immensity of the Famine exerted great
pressure on the form, topics, themes, and goals of Famine-era
travelogues, and for this reason, Famine travel narratives deserve
detailed and organized consideration, as well as critical
recognition of their status as an unprecedented subgenre. Drawing
on an extensive array of underutilized sources, Travel Narratives
of the Irish Famine adumbrates the Irish Famine travelogue canon.
