This collection of essays examines the history of urban leisure
cultures in Europe during the transition from the early modern to
the modern period. Bringing together research on a wide variety of
activities - from the theatre and art exhibitions to spas, seaside
resorts and games - it develops a new scholarly agenda for the
history of leisure, focusing on the complex processes of cultural
transfer that transformed urban leisure culture from the British
Isles to the Ottoman Empire. How did new models of urban leisure
pastimes travel throughout Europe? Who were the main agents of
cultural innovation, appropriation and adaptation? How did the
increasingly entangled character of European urban leisure culture
impact upon the ways men and women from various classes identified
with their social, cultural or (proto-)national communities? These
are some of the questions explored by this accessible and
wide-ranging collection, which looks at leisure from a long-term,
interdisciplinary and transnational perspective.
