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.
