The Seaside, Health and the Environment in England and Wales since 1800 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Seaside, Health and the Environment in England and Wales since 1800 explores the ways in which the English seaside resorts continually reinvented themselves to take account of contemporary trends in popular leisure and maintain their hold on the public's imagination. Particular account is paid to the interwar years when new obsessions with outdoor activities such as sunbathing and tanning were purposefully adopted by the industry to define the modern image of the resort holiday.
