This study of rural Ireland in the years leading up to the ""Great Hunger"" of the 1840s explicates the social, economic and demographic conditions of the era. The author argues that overpopulation and deprivation were inextricably linked to a third variable - the rapid economic development of rural Ireland that was shaped by British interests.
Kevin O'Neill is professor of history and director of the Irish Studies Program at Boston College. He was a historical consultant to the Famine Museum at Strokestown, Co. Roscommon.
