Book Synopsis Temperance Societies in Late Victorian and Edwardian England by : David M. Fahey
Download or read book Temperance Societies in Late Victorian and Edwardian England written by David M. Fahey and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By studying the temperance societies that flourished in late Victorian and Edwardian England, this book opens a window through which we can view middle-class and working-class society. Such societies provided the backbone for temperance both as a social movement and a political lobby. Most temperance societies became aligned with the Liberal Party in support of prohibition by Local Veto. A few allowed members to drink, but most were committed to total abstinence. There were organizations of middle-class men, of workingmen and their wives, of women, and of children and youth. The largest adult society was affiliated with the Church of England, but most societies were identified with Nonconformist denominations.
Book Synopsis Crusade against Drink in Victorian England by : Lilian Lewis Shiman
Download or read book Crusade against Drink in Victorian England written by Lilian Lewis Shiman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-07 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drink, 'the curse of Britain', was sweeping the land, or so it seemed to many Englishmen in the early decades of the nineteenth century. They held it responsible for crime, poverty and many other ills of the rapidly industrializing towns. A 'moderation' temperance reform organized in 1829 largely under middle class auspices soon gave way to a radical commitment to total abstinence in a great variety of worker self-help groups. When these too failed to change the drinking habits of most Englishmen the temperance movement sought new alliances. In the 1870s and 1880s Gospel Temperance married temperance to revivalist religion. It received the support of both established and non-conformist churches, and millions 'took the pledge'. But many did not; and as religious enthusiasm faded the anti-drink forces shifted their attention to the political arena. After successfully pressuring the Liberal Party to adopt limited prohibition, they mounted a great but unsuccessful campaign in the 1895 election. With this defeat the anti-drink crusade disintegrated, leaving the dedicated teetotallers socially isolated in the safe haven of their drink-free subculture.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Drink in England, from Gladstone to Lloyd George by : DAVID M. FAHEY
Download or read book The Politics of Drink in England, from Gladstone to Lloyd George written by DAVID M. FAHEY and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-03 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about alcoholic drink, political parties, and pressure groups. From the 1870s into the 1920s, excessive drinking by urban workers frightened the major political parties. They all wanted to reduce the number of public houses. It was not easy to find a way that would satisfy temperance reformers, many of them prohibitionists, and the licensed drink trade. Brewers demanded compensation when pubs were closed, but temperance reformers were vehemently opposed to this. The book highlights a prolonged struggle of vested interests and ideologies in this regard, showing that a Royal in 1899 helped break the stalemate. In a controversial deal, brewers got compensation, but they had to pay for closing some of their own pubs. Later, during the First World War, the government experimented with an alternative to closing public houses, disinterested or non-commercial management, and considered State Purchase of the entire drink trade.
Book Synopsis Drinking in Victorian and Edwardian Britain by : Thora Hands
Download or read book Drinking in Victorian and Edwardian Britain written by Thora Hands and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-18 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book surveys drinking in Britain between the Licensing Act of 1869 and the wartime regulations imposed on alcohol production and consumption after 1914. This was a period marked by the expansion of the drink industry and by increasingly restrictive licensing laws. Politics and commerce co-existed with moral and medical concerns about drunkenness and combined, these factors pushed alcohol consumers into the public spotlight. Through an analysis of public and private records, medical texts and sociological studies, the book investigates the reasons why Victorians and Edwardians consumed alcohol in the ways that they did and explores the ideas about alcohol that circulated in the period. This book shows that they had many reasons for purchasing and consuming alcoholic substances and these were driven by broader social, cultural, medical and commercial factors. Although drunkenness may have been the most visible consequence of alcohol consumption, it was not the only type of drinking behaviour. Alcohol played an important social role in the everyday lives of Victorians and Edwardians where its consumption held many different meanings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2017 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title award winner *********************************************** This book is an introduction to the history of alcoholic drink in England from the end of the Middle Ages to the present day. Treating the subject thematically, it covers who drank, what they drank, how much, who produced and sold drink, the places where it was enjoyed and the meanings which drinking had for people. It also looks at the varied opposition to drinking and the ways in which it has been regulated and policed. As a social and cultural history, it examines the place of drink in society and how social developments have affected its history and what it meant to individuals and groups as a cultural practice. Covering an extended period in time, this book takes in the important changes brought about by the Reformation and the processes of industrialization and urbanization. This volume also focuses on drink in relation to class and gender and the importance of global developments, along with the significance of regional and local difference. Whilst a work of history, it draws upon the insights of a range of other disciplines which have together advanced our understanding of alcohol. The focus is England, but it acknowledges the importance of comparison with the experience of other countries in furthering our understanding of England’s particular experience. This book argues for the centrality of drink in English society throughout the period under consideration, whilst emphasizing the ways in which its use, abuse and how they have been experienced and perceived have changed at different historical moments. It is the first scholarly work which covers the history of drink in England in all its aspects over such an extended period of time. Written in a lively and approachable style, this book is suitable for those who study social and cultural history, as well as those with an interest in the history of drink in England.
Book Synopsis Writing for Social Change in Temperance Periodicals by : Annemarie McAllister
Download or read book Writing for Social Change in Temperance Periodicals written by Annemarie McAllister and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-25 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book suggests alternative ways of looking at what made a writer, what people gained from writing, and explores the alternative world of temperance periodicals of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It introduces some of the now-forgotten writers who, in their thousands, kept the Victorian periodical presses rolling, and the public entertained. Locating their writing in the context of their personal commitment, the study takes seven prolific writers who were outside what we now think of as the circuits of conventional publication and authorship, and looks at how they found ways to make their voices heard. Their absorption in a cause led them to forge impressive writing careers in a variety of genres and media, focusing around high-circulation temperance periodicals. Examining their cultural contributions as well as their professional lives confirms the importance of the temperance movement in the second half of the nineteenth century, and raises questions about distribution practices and values, and distinctions between "life" and "work."
Download or read book Temperance written by Virginia Berridge and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the current concerns about binge drinking, the national alcohol strategy, and the new Licensing Act, alcohol issues are high on the policy and public agendas. However, the history in this debate is relatively under-exploited and the historical role of temperance rarely drawn upon. This timely report looks back at the role of temperance and considers how the lessons learned and the principles of the Temperance Movement can be applied to alcohol use in today's society. It draws on existing literature about temperance and reviews how the models it offered can be brought into present day thinking and debate. The report also examines whether abstinence changes personal behaviour, and and how it corresponds with structural factors, such as licensing and taxation, as well as environmental improvement. Whilst the nineteenth century mass movement of temperance cannot be recreated in the same way today as it was in Victorian Britain, the author argues that it does present models for current strategies and can lead to discussion of how to achieve cultural change in mass society. Temperance outlines how the legacy of temperance has been expressed in recent decades and how this may be built upon today, raising issues for current policy making.
