A Study of the 19^<th>-century American Temperance Narratives

我收集了许多19世纪美国禁酒叙事的材料进行分析。至于哈丽特·斯托，在她的《汤姆叔叔S的小屋》中发现的控制-依赖关系被证明与另一个重要的酒精依赖主题重叠。关于T·S·亚瑟，在他的禁酒作家生涯中不断发现的劝说与强迫之间的冲突，直接关系到S自由意志的主题，从而为19世纪美国文化的讨论提供了一些新的启示，包括奴隶解放和女性选举权的主题。

I have collected many materials of the 19th-century American temperance narratives for analysis. As for Harriet Stowe, control-dependence relation found in her Uncle Tom' s Cabin has been proved to overlap another important motif of dependency on alcohol. Concerning T. S. Arthur, the conflict between suasion and compulsion which is consistently discovered in his career of a temperance writer directly relates to the topic of man' s free will, thus shedding some new light over the discussion of the19th-century American culture including the topics of slave emancipation and woman suffrage.
