The terrible potato disease, the 'Blight', came from England to Ireland in the autumn of 1845. The potato was damaged as badly in Britain as in Ireland that autumn, but there was no famine in Britain. 'Blight' caused a terrible disaster just in Ireland. The millions of landless and destitute people poor had few or no money and they could not have any other crop except the potato. More than a million people died, and about a million people left Ireland for foreign countries for the period of five years. I wrote a paper, Relief Measures and Epidemics in the Irish Great Famine (1845-49), in 2002, and presented it to the Intramural Research Report Vol. I. When I was writing the paper, I found a lot of problems which were beyond my understanding. Why were the poor people not relieved? Why could they eat any food except the potato? Weren't there any relief activities? A lot of problems welled up in my heart. I traveled around Ireland in 2004 to solve the problems. I went to Connemara District by bus, and looked at the beautiful mountains and lakes. I was very much fascinated by them, but at the same time I felt sad. I imagined that the poor Irish people evicted from the landlord were wandering on the rocky mountains, and starved to death. The beautiful mountains I saw must have seemed to the poor Irish people to be the desperate ground. I want to make it clear in this paper how Irish people lived and died in workhouses, fever hospitals and their cottages, and what kind of disease they died of., “アイルランド大飢餓(1845-49年)の救済策と疫病”(2002)を基に再構成、加筆したもの}, pages = {29--61}, title = {アイルランド、ジャガイモ大飢饉研究}, volume = {4}, year = {2005}, yomi = {トクナガ, サトシ} }
