Quigley, Lillian Fox - Ireland:From AI: Ireland by Lillian Fox is a comprehensive exploration of the rich history, culture, and social dynamics of Ireland. Through a nuanced lens, Fox examines the complex interplay between the country's past and present, offering insights into the enduring spirit of the Irish people. The book begins with an overview of Ireland's ancient history, tracing its roots from prehistoric times through the arrival of Christianity and the establishment of early kingdoms. Fox delves into the impact of invasions and colonization, particularly focusing on the English conquest and the subsequent struggles for independence that have shaped the national identity. Throughout the narrative, Fox highlights the cultural richness of Ireland, discussing its literature, music, and art, which reflect the country's unique heritage and resilience. She examines prominent figures in Irish literature, such as James Joyce and W.B. Yeats, whose works have made significant contributions to global literary canon. Woodham-Smith, Cecil - Great Hunger:From Publisher: The Irish potato famine of the 1840s, perhaps the most appalling event of the Victorian era, killed over a million people and drove as many more to emigrate to America. It may not have been the result of deliberate government policy, yet British ‘obtuseness, short-sightedness and ignorance’ – and stubborn commitment to laissez-faire ‘solutions’ – largely caused the disaster and prevented any serious efforts to relieve suffering. The continuing impact on Anglo-Irish relations was incalculable, the immediate human cost almost inconceivable. In this vivid and disturbing book Cecil Woodham-Smith provides the definitive account. ‘A moving and terrible book. It combines great literary power with great learning. It explains much in modern Ireland – and in modern America’ D.W. Brogan.
