Product Review
"A lively and sophisticated intellectual history Manhood Lost furnishes new evidence for the centrality of the drink debate to nineteenth-century culture." -- Journal of American History
"Manhood Lost deserves a wide readership among historians of gender, temperance, and the nineteenth-century United States." -- Scott C. Martin, Journal of the Early Republic
"Parsons makes a convincing argument for a much closer connection between discourses of women's rights and temperance in the nineteenth century." -- Thomas Winter, Journal of Social History
"A fresh perspective on the ways in which nineteenth-century participants in America's temperance debate understood the roles of men and women and the relationships between individuals and their environment." -- Michelle M. Morgan, History of Education Quarterly
"Its findings will be embraced enthusiastically by scholars affiliated with the emergent field of alcohol and addiction studies." -- John W. Crowley, American Historical Review
"A provocative, fascinating, and elegant book." -- David M. Fahey, Historian
Product Review
"Elaine Frantz Parsons brings enormous freshness to a topic -- American temperance and anti-temperance debates -- about which we thought we knew a great deal. Her research encompasses the ways in which class, race, gender, religion, reform, legal discourse, and scientific knowledge shaped understandings of alcohol, efforts to control or eliminate it, and its symbolic uses. Thanks to her skill in simultaneously reading texts deeply and in locating them within social structures, she found far more complexity, ambiguity, and diversity in anti-alcohol arguments than previous scholars perceived. Her book gives far richer understanding of what was at stake in post-Civil War debates over alcohol, linking the concerns of both proponents and opponents of temperance to greater social and cultural forces in late nineteenth-century America." -- Ronald G. Walters, The Johns Hopkins University
