Resumo

My study, The Feminization of Famine, was published in 1997 and thus became part of the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Great Insh Famine (1845-1851). As a doctoral] student in Boston College, I became interested in the very different images of famine portrayed in Irish texts, ranging from Anthony Trollope's Castle Richmond (published in 1860 and based on Trollope’s observations while living in Ireland during the famine period) to Liam O'Flaherty’s novel Famine (first published in 1937 and arguably the most successful Irish famine narrative).
