- This 105,000 word monograph is based on sustained research over several years and part funded by an Irish Research Council Postdoctoral Fellowship. The periodisation was challenging, exploring how the Irish diet changed so dramatically after the Great Famine (c.1845-51) over a 70-year period leading up to independence. It is methodologically sophisticated, combining approaches from medical, social and cultural history, as well as the history of the body. The source base is diverse and complex including official records, newspapers, House of Commons debates, parliamentary reports, published medical material, newspapers, private letters, radical political propaganda, travel books and other relevant sources.
