Book Description
"One of the lesser known aspects of industrialization in nineteenth-century England is its impact on people's drinking habits and on their attitudes to drink. This pioneering study analyzes the role of drink in England between 1815 and 1872 and investigates the motives and methods of the reformers who tried to combat the widespread drunkenness prevalent at that time..." - Book jacket.
