The heroics and humanitarian contributions of those who came to the
aid of their fellow men and women during the Great Hunger of 1845
and 1852 has been largely ignored and forgotten until recently.
Many of the neglected heroes were prepared to put their lives on
the line and, in a number of instances, suffered permanent health
damage in coming to the aid of the starving and diseased. They
include landlords, poets, clergymen and philanthropists. This
volume follows on from the collection of essays on Famine Heroes
and shows that there were many who were on the front line in coming
to the assistance of their fellow man during this period of
large-scale emigration, starvation and death. At a time when the
world continues to deal with the horrors and legacies of the COVID
pandemic with many front line workers putting their lives at risk,
the heroics of those who gave their time, energy and resources-and
lives-during the calamity of the Great Hunger is recorded and
acknowledged in this collection. This edited collection is a follow
up to Heroes of Ireland's Great Hunger (2021)
