The Event and its Terrors undertakes a critical reimagining of one
of the major events of Irish history - the Great Famine of the
1840s - and of its subsequent legacies. Drawing on a wide range of
sources, past and present, it considers the emergence of the Famine
as an object of historical knowledge and controversy with reference
both to the experience of modernity and to the production of
academic and nationalist histories in colonial and
post-independence Ireland. In doing so, it explores the possibility
of alternative modes of engagement with the past via contemporary
eyewitness accounts, oral histories, literature, folklore, and
present-day commemorative events.
