Pleasures & Pastimes in Victorian Britain

Beschreibung

It was a paradox of nineteenth-century Britain that while work was the bedrock upon which the Victorian vision of progress and improvement was constructed, the years between 1837 and 1901 also saw the greatest upsurge in leisure pursuits hitherto witnessed.
