Reviews for Famine, Land and Culture in Ireland

"""an interdisciplinary collection of essays, which ranges from the painstakingly researched to lightly-annotated-but-generally-insightful contributions."" Irish Studies Review 9 (3) 2001 ""Eleven papers, some of them specific pieces of original research, others general analyses ... edited by Carla King into a fine collection which focuses mainly on the land question. The editor's succinct introduction points to parallels between the Irish and European experience."" Irish Historical Studies 2001 ""The book is very sound on the cultural emanations from the famine, the growth of an Irish school of art and the influence of Paul Henry, a devotee of Achill Island. The influence of the land on Liam O'Flaherty and his work is discussed at length."" Books Ireland Oct 2001"
