John Plunket Joly and the Great Famine in King's County
While a plethora of works have been published about Ireland's Great Famine, particularly during the sesquicentenary commemoration in the mid-1990s, few have examined areas that were not as adversely affected by the calamity.

The world of the Jolys, a gentry family, contrasts greatly with the plight of the inhabitants of the parish of Clonsast in King's County in which they lived.
