GJ It DEGREES'Otigl' it seems expedient to close the connected (3V History of the Movement with the preceding chapter, yet a general view of the operations of the various existing organizations to the present time, may, perhaps, be considered necessary to the completion of our scheme. The cause is still progressing; and, notwithstanding the various opposing influences by which it has been surrounded, it never occupied a better position than it does at this day. The temperance movement has changed the whole aspect of society, in reference to the drinking customs. It cannot now be said of any class of society, as was said- by Lord Macaulay of the upper classes, in the reign of Queen Anne, "Such excess was in that age regarded, even by grave men, as the most venial of all peccadilloes, and was so far from being a mark of ill breeding, that it was almost essential to the character of a fine gentleman;"* and, indeed, so accustomed were the aristocracy of that time to intoxicating drinks, that Macaulay further remarks, that "we should no more think of saying that he sometimes took too much wine, than that he wore a long wig and a sword." These times have passed away, and, as a general rule, society finds it necessary, to apologize for the use of intoxicating liquors, and to profess opinions in favour of abstinence. How much the temperance movement has had to do in effecting this change we cannot now stay to inquire; doubtless it has had a considerable influence in promoting this reformation, although some other agencies may have been at work at the same time: and among other causes which have tended to change public opinion in reference to intoxicating drinks, we...

By studying the temperance societies that flourished in late Victorian and Edwardian England, this book opens a window through which we can view middle-class and working-class society. Such societies provided the backbone for temperance both as a social movement and a political lobby. Most temperance societies became aligned with the Liberal Party in support of prohibition by Local Veto. A few allowed members to drink, but most were committed to total abstinence. There were organizations of middle-class men, of workingmen and their wives, of women, and of children and youth. The largest adult society was affiliated with the Church of England, but most societies were identified with Nonconformist denominations.

In the final decades of the nineteenth century modernizing interpretations of leisure became of interest to social policy makers and cultural critics, producing a discourse of leisure and voluntarism that flourished until the Second World War. The free time of British citizens was increasingly seen as a sphere of social citizenship and community-building. Through major social thinkers, including William Morris, Thomas Hill Green, Bernard Bosanquet and John Hobson, leisure and voluntarism were theorized in terms of the good society. In post-First World War social reconstruction these writers remained influential as leisure became a field of social service, directed towards a new society and working through voluntary association in civic societies, settlements, new estate community-centres, village halls and church-based communities. This volume documents the parallel cultural shift from charitable philanthropy to social service and from rational recreation to leisure, teasing out intellectual influences which included social idealism, liberalism and socialism. Leisure, Robert Snape claims, has been a central and under-recognized organizing force in British communities. Leisure, Voluntary Action and Social Change in Britain, 1880-1939 marks a much needed addition to the historiography of leisure and an antidote to the widely misunderstood implications of leisure to social policy today.
