Ireland's Great Hunger Museum at Quinnipiac University publishes
Famine Folios, a unique resource for students, scholars and
researchers, as well as general readers, covering many aspects of
the Famine in Ireland from 1845 - 1852 - the worst demographic
catastrophe of nineteenth-century Europe. The essays are
interdisciplinary in nature, and make available new research in
Famine studies by internationally established scholars in history,
art history, cultural theory, philosophy, media history, political
economy, literature and music. This publications initiative is
devised to augment the Museum experience, and is part of the
Museum's commitment to making its collection accessible to
audiences of all ages and levels of educational interest. The
booklets are produced to the highest level, beautifully illustrated
with works from the Museum and related collections. It ensures that
audiences have access to the latest scholarship as it pertains to
both the historical and contemporary dimensions of the
collection.Christine Kinealy provides a chronology of the Famine
and examines the causes and consequences of this tragedy, and asks
how could a famine of this magnitude occur at the centre of the
British Empire? Why did Ireland starve?
