The evils of drink were a constant preoccupation in late Victorian
England. The United Kingdom Alliance, founded in 1853, fought a
long and vigorous but ultimately unsuccessful campaign for
prohibition. In doing so it eventually developed into one of the
most powerful reformist pressure groups operating in Victorian
political life. First published in 1980, this book covers in
extensive detail the legislative activity of the Alliance and
analyses the administration and campaign strategies involved, from
its formation to the disastrous electoral defeat of the liberal
party in 1895. Stressing that the phenomenon of Prohibition cannot
be adequately explained purely in political terms, this study shows
that the preliminary success and eventual failure of the Alliance
was closely related to its nonconformist ethics and attitudes. This
book will be of interest to those studying Victorian history,
politics and religion.
