Depiction of Eviction in Ireland 1845-1910
Dispossession has a long and tortuous history in Ireland, from the Victorian era when evictions were a major social, cultural, and political event; to their dramatic decline after the mid-1850s; and their zenith of media attention and political import in the 1880s, when the Irish National Land League was founded. Drawing on memoirs, ballads, poems, folklore, and novels as well as providing numerous illustrations of contemporary prints and photographs, Curtis provides the first book-length study of rural evictions over a period of sixty years. L. Perry Curtis, Jr, whose books include Coercion and Conciliation in Ireland (1963), retired in 2001 from the Departments of History, Modern Culture, and Media at Brown University. He now lives in Vermont. "Curtis succeeds in portraying the human story behind eviction statistics... Provides future scholars and students with a reference point for all the key conflicts of the period."-Irish Literary Supplement Fall 2012

One neglected feature of the Famine evictions is the ideological context in which they occurred--not just the dictates of political economy but also profound religious and racial prejudices directed against the pauperized Irish peasantry. This essay seeks to redress that neglect by emphasizing the role played by pejorative images of "Paddy" in the toleration or approval in Britain of both eviction and involuntary emigration. --Page [4] of cover.

Jack the Ripper & the London Press
“Breaks new ground in its examination of the role of newspaper reporting during the police hunt for the first notorious serial killer.”—Reviews in History Press coverage of the 1888 mutilation murders attributed to Jack the Ripper was of necessity filled with gaps and silences, for the killer remained unknown and Victorian journalists had little experience reporting serial murders and sex crimes. This engrossing book examines how fourteen London newspapers—dailies and weeklies, highbrow and lowbrow—presented the Ripper news, in the process revealing much about the social, political, and sexual anxieties of late Victorian Britain and the role of journalists in reinforcing social nor...
