Omschrijving
"Annemarie McAllister’s Writing for Social Change brings to life the dynamic counter-culture of the nineteenth-century temperance movement in Britain and broadens our received ideas about social reform literature. Temperance activists worked in a wide array of genres – from didactic tales to sensation fiction, from exhortative poetry to music hall ditties, from "thing" stories to magic lantern shows – which McAllister elucidates in a series of sensitive readings. This meticulously researched volume provides an atlas to unknown world; students of working-class literature, popular culture, and periodical studies will find it indispensable."
– Gregory Vargo, Associate Professor, New York University, USA
