Abstract This new series offers a fresh approach to Irish history; in place of a general narrative, each book explores key aspects for the period under consideration. The first volume in the series focuses on Catholic Emancipation, the Great Famine of 1846-50 and the radicalization of the Catholic Church that began with the Synod of Thurles (1850). Volumes in the series include a broad selection of original historical documents, each with an introduction, an exact citation of source, and a concise presentation of its content, as well as short essays on historical concepts important in the period and brief biographies of major figures. Donnchadh Ó Corráin is emeritus professor of medieval history at University College Cork. He has published widely on early medieval Irish institutions, culture, law, literature, historical sources and the Viking wars. 520 Tomas O'Riordan works as a researcher and part-time lecturer in University College Cork--P.
