In the century after the Restoration of 1660, English provincial
towns experienced a cultural renaissance. This penetrating study
examines the economic and social origins which stimulated the most
striking features of that revival: the transformation of the urban
landscape under the influence of classical architecture and the
emergent forces of planning; and the remarkable expansion in the
provision of public leisure. Concentrating on the interaction
between urban culture and society as a whole, Peter Borsay draws on
a wide range of disciplines, shedding new light not only on the
development of the early modern town, but also on the relatively
neglected period of English history between the Civil War and the
Industrial Revolution. Reference material is included, in a
detailed town-by-town appendix.
