The two bases of the study are that Ireland, up to the Great Famine of the 1840s, was only partially an English-speaking country; and a challenge to the orthodoxy that eighteenth and nineteenth century Australian Irish-speakers did not leave written record in Australia of their native tongue. | Publication Type: | Review | Source of Publication: | Reviews in Australian Studies, 1(1), p. 156-157 | Publisher: | British Australian Studies Association (BASA) | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1750-7871 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 200503 British and Irish Literature | HERDC Category Description: | D3 Review of Single Work | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.nla.gov.au/openpublish/index.php/ras/article/view/601/672 |
