I’m reading the relevant chapter of Robert Winder’s Bloody Foreigners now, but I’d love to have a book that looks more specifically at the circumstances of the Irish in London during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Any suggestions?
Ah, I used to work with someone who specialises in such things. His website is here: http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/hisar/contactsandpeople/academicstaff/F-J/jones-bill-dr-overview_new.html
His personal interest is in the Welsh, but he knows the Irish side to and should be able to advise. Tell him I sent you (he knows me as Kari Maund).
Thanks, I’ll probably get in touch.
