A Cultural History of Leisure presents historians, and scholars and
students of related fields, with the first comprehensive and
interdisciplinary overview of the cultural history of leisure from
ancient times to modernity. With six highly illustrated volumes
covering 2500 years, this is the definitive reference work on the
subject, comprising: Volume 1: A Cultural History of Leisure in
Antiquity (500BC-500AD) Volume 2: A Cultural History of Leisure in
the Medieval Age (500-1450) Volume 3: A Cultural History of Leisure
in the Renaissance (1450-1650) Volume 4: A Cultural History of
Leisure in the Age of Enlightenment (1650-1800) Volume 5: A
Cultural History of Leisure in the Age of Empire (1800-1920) Volume
6: A Cultural History of Leisure in the Modern Age (1920-2000+)
Each volume adopts the same thematic structure, covering: the idea
of leisure; the performing arts and their audiences; the cerebral
arts and their publics; sports and games; holydays, holidays and
tourism; the world of conviviality; the world of goods; the world
of nature and representations of leisure, enabling readers to trace
one theme throughout history, as well as gaining a thorough
overview of each individual period. The Cultural Histories Series A
Cultural History of Leisure is part of the Cultural Histories
Series. Titles are available both as printed hardcover sets for
libraries needing just one subject or preferring a one-off purchase
and tangible reference for their shelves, or as part of a fully
searchable digital library available to institutions by annual
subscription or on perpetual access (see
bloomsburyculturalhistory.com).
