The Great Famine. Cataclysm for the Transformation of Ireland

More about the book

Focusing on the social and cultural implications of historical events, this seminar paper examines the Great Famine's role in shaping modern Ireland. It argues that historical studies should encompass humanity and emotions rather than just data. Highlighting the Famine as a pivotal moment in the 19th century, the paper explores its impact on food, land, and the broader transformation of Irish society, suggesting that while significant, the Famine was one of several factors influencing change in Ireland during this period.
