PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
"Dr. Annemarie McAllister is Senior Research Fellow in History at the University of Central Lancashire and has a background in literature and cultural history, with a special interest in periodicals and print culture. She has written widely on the cultural, social, and political history of the UK temperance movement, and edited a volume of The Social History of Alcohol and Drugs on ""Temperance Past and Present"" in 2019."
"""Annemarie McAllister’s Writing for Social Change brings to life the dynamic counter-culture of the nineteenth-century temperance movement in Britain and broadens our received ideas about social reform literature. Temperance activists worked in a wide array of genres – from didactic tales to sensation fiction, from exhortative poetry to music hall ditties, from ""thing"" stories to magic lantern shows – which McAllister elucidates in a series of sensitive readings. This meticulously researched volume provides an atlas to unknown world; students of working-class literature, popular culture, and periodical studies will find it indispensable."" – Gregory Vargo, Associate Professor, New York University, USA"
