We recognise the Victorians as relentless, nose-to-the-grindstone workers: at one end of the scale there were great scientific discoveries being made, at the other there were child chimney sweeps and the workhouse. But how did the people of the Industrial Revolution amuse themselves in their spare time? What weird and wonderful activities were invented solely for the pursuit of pleasure? The years between 1837 and 1901 saw the greatest upsurge in leisure pursuits hitherto witnessed. Parks, libraries, art galleries and museums were created. Pamela Horn explores the various activities enjoyed by the Victorians, including sport, the music hall, fashion, fairs, drink and travel. If you have ever wondered how that most serious society ever had fun, or how they idled away those precious non-working hours, this is the book for you. The Victorians had a wonderful capacity for humour, turning the woes of rent day and domestic disputes into sources of laughter at the theatre. During this period the concept of spare time itself became much valued.
