Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This book explores the fictional figure of the drunkard and why it was so important to Victorian thinking about what it meant to be human. From Joss life-changing hangover in Vanity Fair to Henchards twenty-one-year pledge of sobriety in The Mayor of Casterbridge, habitual drunkards were defining characters in nineteenth-century novels and short stories, creating chaos, joy, comedy, suffering and often their own destruction in works by authors like Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Anne Bronte, Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy and Anthony Trollope. Fiction played a key role in Victorian political discourses about the place of alcohol in society, fuelling the battle between temperance campaigners and defenders of moderation and pleasure, as well as disseminating and challenging new medical understandings of alcohols effects on the body and mind. By examining gendered and classed representations of drunkenness, The Drunkard in Victorian Fiction and Culture also documents how women and working-class drinkers were portrayed more harshly than their male and higher-class counterparts, reflecting wider religious and moral prejudices of the time. Pam Lock demonstrates the importance of studying literary drunkards both as evidence of Victorian attitudes to alcohol and as cautionary figures that remind us of the fragility and preciousness of life. The first book-length study of alcohol in Victorian literature and culture. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
