Here, the late Professor Leslie A.

Williams provides an important contribution to famine historiography and to understanding the British press in the nineteenth century.' American Historical Review '... a substantial addition to both periodical criticism and the history of British-Irish relations.' Victorian Periodicals Review Author InformationLeslie A.
