English society in the eighteenth century was allegedly marked by a
'gambling mania', such was the prevalence and intensity of
different forms of 'gaming'. Gambling in Britain in the Long
Eighteenth Century subjects this notion to systematic scrutiny,
exploring the growth and prevalence of different forms of gambling
across Britain and throughout British society in this period, as
well as attitudes towards it. Drawing on a vast range of new,
empirical evidence, Bob Harris seeks to understand gambling, its
growth, and significance within the context of wider trends and
impulses in society. This book asks what light gambling practices
and habits shed back onto society and the values, hopes, and
expectations that informed the lives of those involved. This is a
book, therefore, as much about the character of British society in
the long eighteenth century as it is about gambling itself.
