Crusade Against Drink in Victorian England

Crusade Against Drink in Victorian England

by Lilian Lewis Shiman (Author)

Synopsis

Drink, 'the curse of Britain', was sweeping the land, or so it seemed to many Englishmen in the early decades of the nineteenth century. 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.
