Great Hunger examined by Pollak on Woodham-Smith
Cecil Woodham-Smith's The Great Hunger is analyzed as a precise engrossing history of the 1840s Irish potato famine. The review compares it to The Reason Why and Florence Nightingale, notes its length, and highlights Sir Charles Edward Trevelyan as a central figure in famine relief and British administration.

The Great Hunger and A Severed Head in Summer Reading
A critique contrasts Trevelyan’s laissez faire beliefs with famine realities in The Great Hunger and reviews Iris Murdoch’s A Severed Head. The latter follows Martin Lynch-Gibbon, his wife Antonia, lover Georgie, and analyst Palmer Anderson in a tangled, comic- tragic web of affairs in London and Cambridge. Martin’s indulgent lifestyle and impulsive rages spiral as lovers drift, weddings clash, and Honor Klein enters, culminating in a chaotic pursuit to the airport and an uncertain, unhappy ending.
