Abstract
This thesis shall examine the manner in which trauma, memory, and migration in relation to the Great Famine are explored in the novels The O’Donnells of Glen Cottage and Grace. These themes shall be analysed through the use of trauma theory, with the analysis revealing that The O’Donnells and Grace share similarities in their display of trauma through the usage of physical landscapes and migration, albeit in different forms. The texts differ in their depiction of the mental impact of trauma, with Grace showing the impact more explicitly, whilst The O’Donnells describe it in little detail.
