  1. Hunger in the United Kingdom

    Chronic hunger has affected a sizable proportion of the UK's population throughout its history. Following improved economic conditions that followed World War II, hunger became a less pressing issue. Yet since the 2007–2008 world food price crisis that began in late 2006 and especially since the Great Recession, long term hunger began to return as a prominent social problem. Albeit only affecting a small minority of the UK's population, by December 2013, according to a group of doctors and academics writing in the British Medical Journal, hunger in the UK had reached the level of a "public health emergency". In the run-up to the 2015 general election, the issue of hunger in the UK became somewhat politicised, with right wing commentators expressing scepticism about figures presented by church groups and left-leaning activists.

    The Irish Potato Famine caused many changes in the United Kingdom, but the most important correlations between the famine and literature are harder to evaluate. Among these, however, may be the division that was created between the English/Scottish and Irish, and the themes of nationalism that began developing in Ireland following the famine.
