The Irish through British Eyes
Angebote / Angebote:
The mainstream British attitude toward the Irish in the first half of the 1840s was based upon the belief in Irish improvability. Most educated British rejected any notion of Irish racial inferiority and insisted that under middle-class British tutelage the Irish would in time reach a standard of civilization approaching that of Britain. The author describes how patronizing notions of Irish "improvability" changed with the advent of famine in the late 1840s.
