A Current Bibliography of Canadian Church History / Bibliographie récente de l’Histoire de l’Église canadienne

The definitive book on the Great Famine from Ireland's greatest historian, combining the latest research and fresh insights. The Great Famine was a period of mass starvation, disease and emigration in Ireland. Between 1845 and 1852 the island's population dropped by 2.5 million-a full quarter of its citizens - and its legacy continues to be felt. For both the native Irish and those in the resulting diaspora, the famine entered folk memory and became a rallying point for nationalist movements for decades. This is a fascinating and sobering look at a dark period of global history, as well as the ramifications of the 'famine mentality' that continues to haunt Ireland to this day.

The Famine Plot: England's Role in Ireland's Greatest Tragedy

on Saint Patrick’s Day, 17 March 1996, Sheila Copps, deputy prime minister of Canada and minister of Canadian heritage, announced Canada’s recognition of the National Historic Site at Grosse Ile as “the Irish Memorial.” This memorial will henceforth commemorate the Irish tragedy in the quarantine station in 1847. The site’s focal points will be the mass graves of the Irish famine victims and the only hospital building remaining from 1847, a long wooden shed called the Lazaretto. Equally important, Grosse Ile will “pay homage to the welcome, generosity and devotion of the local population” who comforted the afflicted.1 Minister Copps’s declaration was the culmination, and vindication, of almost a century of efforts by Irish Canadians to ensure the acknowledgment and preservation of the sanctity of what is almost certainly the largest Great Famine mass grave site in the world. The approach to Grosse Ile is dominated by the 46-foot-tall Celtic Cross, erected by the Ancient Order of Hibernians in 1909. Standing on a rocky promontory on the highest point on the island, the base of the cross bears the following inscription, which is translated from the Irish:

Grosse Ile: Canada's Famine Memorial

Beggars and begging were ubiquitous features of pre-Famine Irish society, yet have gone largely unexamined by historians. Begging, Charity and Religion in Pre-Famine Ireland explores at length for the first time the complex cultures of mendicancy, as well as how wider societal perceptions of and responses to begging were framed by social class, gender and religion. The study breaks new ground in exploring the challenges inherent in defining and measuring begging and alms-giving in pre-Famine Ireland, as well as the disparate ways in which mendicants were perceived by contemporaries. A discussion of the evolving role of parish vestries in the life of pre-Famine communities facilitates an examination of corporate responses to beggary, while a comprehensive analysis of the mendicity society movement, which flourished throughout Ireland in the three decades following 1815, highlights the significance of charitable societies and associational culture in responding to the perceived threat of mendicancy. The instance of the mendicity societies illustrates the extent to which Irish commentators and social reformers were influenced by prevailing theories and practices in the transatlantic world regarding the management of the poor and deviant. Drawing on a wide range of sources previously unused for the study of poverty and welfare, this book makes an important contribution to modern Irish social and ecclesiastical history.
