Nineteenth-century America witnessed a full-blown campaign against
alcohol and, for most of the century, temperance reform was a
national cause. As an integral part of the various temperance
movements, a new form of theatrical literature and performance
developed, both professional and amateur, to help spread the
message. John Frick examines the role of temperance drama in the
overall scheme of American nineteenth-century theatre, taking
examples from both mainstream productions and amateur theatricals.
Frick also compares the American genre to its British counterpart.
