- This 95,000 word monograph is based on sustained research undertaken from 2008 onwards and completed during a Wellcome Trust Fellowship (2013-16). It is an extended piece of research that contrasts the use of force-feeding in England, Ireland and Northern Ireland over a 70-year period, incorporating multiple perspectives in contrasting geographical and political contexts. The monograph draws from a diverse and complex range of primary sources including official records, private diaries and memoirs, newspapers, radical political propaganda, House of Commons debates, published medical material, prison medical records, private letters, audio-visual material and private oral history transcripts.
