"We have long known that Famine memories are rooted in materiality, without really grasping how serial publication created readers, and hence memories. Lindsay Janssen has given us an indispensable book for anyone for whom memory of the Irish Famine matters."-Christopher Morash, author of A History of the Media in Ireland
