Food in Nineteenth-Century British History

Dr. Ian Miller is Senior Lecturer in Medical History at Ulster University. He has authored seven books on the history of medicine and food. Of particular relevance are Ian’s book-length studies on the force-feeding of hunger strikers (2016), Irish dietary change following the devastating Famine (2013) and the surprisingly interesting history of the Victorian stomach (2011).
