This book will provide a ground-breaking introduction to the
history of poverty and welfare in modern Ireland in the era of the
Irish poor law. As the first study to address poor relief and
health care together, this book will fill an important gap in the
existing literature providing a much-needed introduction to, and
assessment of, the evolution of social welfare in nineteenth and
early-twentieth century Ireland. The collection also addresses a
number of related issues, including private philanthropy, the
attitudes of landowners towards poor relief and the crisis of the
poor law during the Great Famine of 1845-50. Together this
interlinking set of contributions will both survey current research
and suggest new areas for investigation thus it is hoped, proving a
further stimulus to the growing field of Irish welfare history.
