Peter Borsay places leisure in its historical context, enriching understanding and challenging received views of contemporary recreational practices. His approach is analytical and critical, with an emphasis on the long perspective, on key concepts rather than simple chronology, and on the British Isles as a fluid and dynamic amalgam of local and national cultures and polities.

Product Description
Deep within the human psyche lurks the primal urge to compete. It can take many forms: sport, nuclear war, the pub quiz. Sport is universal, nuclear war threatens us all, but only Britain has a thriving quiz culture all of its own. Why do people watch quizzes on TV and why do so many go to a pub quiz each week, to compete for a cash prize smaller than the amount they will spend on beer? This book delves into the dark heart of British quiz culture - its origins, its practices, its background - and its unfortunate knitwear. ... Read more

Product Description

The inter-war period saw the annual holiday become part of the lives of large numbers of people in Britain for the first time. In the Edwardian age it had been a privilege enjoyed by the few, but by the end of the 1930s, 15 million people were going away to the coast for a week or two. This book explores all the facets of the seaside holiday—where people went and why; how they got there; where they stayed; and what they did. We take in the first holiday camps, which opened in the 30s, as well as some wonderful modern hotels that were the epitome of sophistication and style. We examine the architecture of pleasure, in the form of cinemas, piers, lidos, and pavilions. This intriguing account is richly illustrated throughout with a mixture of contemporary photographs and postcards, publicity material, posters, and modern images.

Editorial Review

Product Description
This book is a sociological study of a societal grouping that has the popular title middle class . It argues that it is more precise to describe the middle classes as dominant groupings, and the book draws upon a wide range of characters from such groupings. In a detailed analysis of cultural practices, those making an appearance include omnivores, carnivores, herbivores, the middle-brow, traditional culture vultures, middle class plunderers, the urban arts eclectic and the English gentleman. There is a particular focus on those expressing the silver disposition ; predominantly affluent, middle-aged and white, with a taste for conspicuous consumption and established cultural forms. The book brings together a range of disparate sources on the middle classes and offers a sustained engagement with the concept of culture . It illustrates the extent to which social groups utilize the various assets at their disposal and seek to maintain the legitimacy of their cultural practices. The findings emphasise the continuing link between class and taste. Culture and the Middle Classes will be of interest to those working in the fields of class and culture across a range of disciplines, including sociology, cultural studies, social theory, media studies and cultural anthropology. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
The wonderfully evocative and poignant photographs in this book show our forebears at their leisure. The introduction of shorter working hours and bank holidays in the late Victorian era meant that for the first time many working people had time on their hands, away from the grind of daily life. In 1938 the Holidays with Pay act created the first statutory right to paid holidays and led to the growth of what we now know as the leisure industries .This book shows how people, often in their thousands and tens of thousands, made the most of their new found freedom. The early years of the Twentieth Century also saw the rise in the two mass entertainment industries which would go on to dominate English recreation for the next 100 years: cinema and football. The book includes unique archive images from the Odeon Cinema Collection, showing how the new technology of cinema was quickly embraced by the masses. It also shows the immense crowds the fledgling sport of football was already attracting - encapsulated by a sea of flat capped men sardined together on the terraces of a football ground. At the other end of the social spectrum we see the River Thames at Henley packed with boats for the Regatta, and hunters chasing down a fox. Most of all we see a nation beginning to break free from the shackles of industrialisation and the horrors of two worlds wars, and beginning enjoy itself. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
The main aim of this work is to enable people to develop an understanding of the evolution and contemporary significance of countryside recreation, the scale and diversity of current demand and key resource planning and management issues which arise. Using case studies and practical examples and drawing primarily on the UK context, the book looks at the evolution of the countryside as a popular playground, noting the inherent variety of the resource and the complexity of accommodating public recreation amidst other prime uses, and in a resource which is in predominantly private ownership. The current planning framework is discussed, as well as the roles of the main planners, policy makers, providers and pressure groups. The special measures applying to specific areas and categories of resource are outlined, and their success in preventing or solving excessive pressure or conflicting uses is discussed. Current recreational demand is considered, both in terms of social and spatial distribution, and the nature and extent of non-use is examined.Finally, key planning and management issues are discussed, in the context of providing a public recreation service whilst conserving the countryside, using illustrative examples of management approaches and solutions. ...
