DESCRIPTION:Irish historian Felix Larkin will outline the history of Irish 
 cartoons (from Mathew Carey’s Volunteers’ Journal to Martyn Turner) and of 
 cartoons about the Irish (from Daniel O’Connell to Brexit). \n\nCartoons su
 ch as those that will feature in this lecture are undervalued as a historic
 al source. While good history – like good journalism – has to be nuanced\, 
 reflecting the complexity of the situation or issue under consideration\, a
  cartoon cuts through the verbiage with a simple truth that overrides compl
 exity and gets to the heart of the matter. Cartoons\, therefore\, can give 
 us great insight into contemporary perceptions of past events\, and the arg
 uments – and passions – engendered by those events\, as well as providing o
 pportunities for historians to enhance their work with engaging images. \n\
 nFelix M. Larkin\, FRHistS\, is a former chairman of the Newspaper and Peri
 odical History Forum of Ireland\, and has published widely on the history o
 f the press in Ireland and other topics. He has essays in all three volumes
  of The Edinburgh History of the British and Irish Press.\n\nThe evening wi
 ll begin with a wine\, beer\, and hors d'oeurves reception at 5:00 pm in th
 e Burns Library Irish Room. The lecture will follow at 6:00 pm upstairs in 
 the Thompson Room. All are welcome.
