The Hangover

A Literary and Cultural History

Jonathon Shears
The term ‘hangover’ was not used to describe the after-effects of alcohol consumption until 1904, but Jonathon Shears’ study begins with the drinking cultures and ‘nausea of sin’ of the 17th century. The book explores the physical, emotional and social aspects of drunkenness and hangovers through literature, continuing up to the 20th and 21st centuries, discussing topics including the gin craze, Romantic poetry, and Victorian moral sensitivity.
