This book explores leisure-related voluntary associations in France
during the nineteenth century as practical expressions of the
Revolutionary concept of fraternite. Using a mass of unpublished
sources in provincial and national archives, it analyses the
history, geography and cultural significance of amateur musical
societies and sports clubs in eleven departements of France between
1848 and 1914. It demonstrates that, although these voluntary
associations drew upon and extended the traditional concept of
cooperation and community, and the Revolutionary concept of
fraternity, they also incorporated the fundamental characteristics
of competition and conflict. Although intended to produce social
harmony, in practice they reflected the ideological hostilities and
cultural tensions that permeated French society in the nineteenth
century.
