Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Challenging the notion that addiction can be identified through physical appearance, this book presents visual imagery as unreliable in recognizing alcoholics and drug addicts. Skelly analyzes various forms of art and media, addressing topics like societal fears surrounding maternal drinking, the punishment of addicts, the experiences of female alcoholics in 19th-century London, and soldiers' reliance on substances like cocaine and tobacco to manage trauma post-World War I.
