My new (and first) book, The Drunkard in Victorian Fiction and Culture is out in May with @edinburghup.bsky.social. You can now pre-order which is pretty cool. Even cooler is that you can get 30% off with this flyer/code. Recommend to your university library if you think it will be of interest. 🍷

Of course my favourite representation of the drunkard's progress is this cracker, from (I think) the US in 1887

The progress of a drinker represented as a toboggan slide, starting with the popular hotel or drugstore, through saloons, into general 'doggery', then rapidly shotting through gambling, corruption and thenm into drunkard's graves

Delighted to see @drinkingstudies.bsky.social stalwart David Beckingham explaining Victorian/Edwardian laws on licensing and drunkenness to Ross Kemp on 'Who Do You Think You Are?' Ross's story further strengthened my belief that drink runs through many family histories, not always in a good way..

Badania nad alkoholem uchodzą za kontrowersyjne. Zdarza mi się usłyszeć pytanie, czy to, co robimy, nie jest mało poważne. Jeśli skupiamy się, np. na przyjemności związanej z piciem, to pojawiają się zarzuty, że w ten sposób promujemy alkohol – mówi w wywiadzie dla FA @dorotadias.bsky.social

Book cover with various kinds of evidence of family history arrayed around the author and title, the latter is _Lineage: Genealogy and the Power of Connection in Early America_. The kinds of materials include printed texts, manuscripts, a red book (shhhhh that figures largely in the Introduction!), a watercolor family record, Fraktur, gravestone, and a sampler. One repeated text says "born free, born free (etc)"
