BOOK: Corners, Spine Bumped; Light Shelf Rub to Boards; Moderate Moisture Damage (Mildewed Appearance and Odour); Edges Moderately Soiled. DUST JACKET: Lightly Creased; Lightly Chipped; Moderate Fading Due to Sun Exposure; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SYNOPSIS: This study examines the transformation of popular leisure from 1830 to 1885 and the middle class schemes for "rational recreation", which attempted to reform the leisure habits and amenities of the working classes. It is based on extensive reading of contemporary periodicals, the specialist press, government reports and social commentaries on working class life, much of it previously unused by researchers, and draws on local evidence. After describing the lively state of working class recreations and the social problem that they represented to contemporary reformers, Peter Bailey explores the phenomenon of the new leisure world which overtook Victorian society from the middle of the century, discussing the changing role of leisure for the middle class and the implication for social control and the various campaigns for "rational recreation". The increasing activity and debate among reformers influenced popular culture in three specific areas: the reform experiment of the Working Men's Club movement; the promotion of organized games and the new athleticism; and the emergent mass entertainment industry of the music halls, all of which are examined in detail. The study assesses the general impact of this attempt to impose a new play discipline and the resistance it met with in working class life, and concludes with a discussion of the implications of the development of modern leisure for the broader questions of class relationships and consciousness. Peter Bailey is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Manitoba. He has broadcast and published on Victorian leisure, and is contributing a study of the Music Halls to a forthcoming volume in the History Workshop Series, published by Routledge, on Popular Culture.
