Ordinary Lives, Death, and Social Class focuses on the evolution of
the Dublin City Coroner's Court and on Dr Louis A. Bryne's first
two years in office. Wrapping itself around the 1901 census, the
study uses gender, power, and blame as analytical frameworks to
examine what inquests can tell us about the impact of urban living
from lifecycle and class perspectives. Coroners' inquests are a
combination of eyewitness testimony, expert medico-legal language,
detailed minutiae of people, places, and occupational identities
pinned to a moment in time. Thus they have a simultaneous capacity
to reveal histories from both above and below. Rich in
geographical, socio-economic, cultural, class, and medical detail,
these records collated in a liminal setting about the hour of death
bear incredible witness to what has often been termed 'ordinary
lives'. The subjects of Dr Byrne's court were among the poorest in
Ireland and, apart from common medical causes problems linked to
lower socio-economic groups, this volume covers preventable cases
of workplace accidents, neglect, domestic abuse, and homicide.
