Ten papers on the influence of antialcohol reform on American literature cover the early 18th century through the postmodern era. Topics include the importance of sensational temperance rhetoric to the work of Whitman and Poe, the role of alcoholism in the first African-American novel and in slave narratives, the influences of Harriet Beecher Stowe and of Alcoholics Anonymous, the notion that alcoholism is the modernist vice, and strategies for teaching students about the culture of drinking.
