Hi,
Here is the Trainor reference and my summary of it.
Trainor, Brian Paul. "Towards a Genealogy of Temperance: Identity, Belief
and Drink in Victorian Ontario." M.A. Thesis: Queen's University, 1993.
He examines the discourse of drink and the variety of meanings associated
with drink and temperance from 1828 to 1898. Specifically he examines the
political and identity struggles that were shaped by those meanings and help
shape them. His chapters specifically examine pre-confed. liberal temperance
and its religious links, the success of the doctors in bec. masters of the
discourse, the failure of the Knights to articulate a counter-hegemonic
discourse, and the ability of the state to seal the discourse, temporarily,
and purge it of its radical articulations.
