Book Synopsis Father Mathew, Temperance, and Irish Identity by : Paul A. Townend
Book excerpt: The Capuchin friar's temperance campaign from 1838 to 1848, says Townend (British and Irish history, U. of North Carolina- Wilmington) was the single most extraordinary social movement in pre-famine Ireland, and a unique mass mobilization in modern European history as measured by the number of people it involved and its impact on the social fabric and the evolving national consciousness. Mathew (1790-1856) campaigned in Ireland and in Irish diaspora communities in Scotland, England, and America. The book is distributed in the US by ISBS.
