The Anti-Alcohol Movement in Europe by Ernest Barron Gordon is a historical account of the temperance movement in Europe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book examines the various forms of anti-alcohol activism that emerged in different European countries, including Britain, France, Germany, and Sweden. Gordon explores the origins of the temperance movement, tracing its roots back to religious and moral reform movements in the 18th and 19th centuries. He then examines the different strategies and tactics used by temperance advocates, including propaganda, education, and legal reform. The book also analyzes the political and social context in which the temperance movement emerged, including the rise of industrialization, urbanization, and the growth of the middle class. Gordon argues that the temperance movement was not only a moral crusade but also a response to the social problems caused by alcohol, such as poverty, crime, and domestic violence. Overall, The Anti-Alcohol Movement in Europe provides a comprehensive overview of the temperance movement in Europe and its impact on society and politics. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of history, sociology, and public health, as well as anyone interested in the history of social reform movements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
