Leisure is a key aspect of modern living. How did our ancestors
experience recreation in the past, and how does this relate to the
present? To answer these questions, Peter Borsay examines the
history of leisure in Britain over the past 500 years, analysing
elements of both continuity and change. A History of Leisure -
explores a range of pastimes, from festive culture and music to
tourism and sport - emphasises a conceptual and critical approach,
rather than a simple narrative history - covers a range of themes
including economy, state, class, identities, place, space and time
- treats the constituent parts of the British Isles as a fluid and
dynamic amalgam of local and national cultures and polities.
Authoritative and engaging, this text challenges conventional views
on the history of leisure and suggests new approaches to the
subject. Borsay draws upon the insights provided by a variety of
disciplines alongside that of history - anthropology, the arts,
geography and sociology - to offer an essential guide to this
fascinating area of study.
