In the age of empire, Victorians and Romantics over the long 19th
century faced issues of governance that no other society had faced
on such a massive level, causing socio-political questions that had
to be addressed based on sheer necessity but little governmental
experience. In an age in which there was a decade referred to as
"the Hungry Forties," and in which the Great Famine in Ireland
occurs as well, there are high rates of poverty across the whole
century in Britain and its colonies. At the same time that hunger
and famine were intractable issues, irresolvable across
nineteenth-century Britain, socio-political entities had little
stomach for solving the problem and few technocrats had economic
answers based on real world experience. This four-volume collection
of primary sources examine hunger and famine in Britain and its
empire across the long nineteenth century.
