Leisure and Cultural Conflict in Twentieth-Century Britain Hardback
Edited by Brett Bebber
Part of the Studies in Popular Culture series
Hardback
Description
This collection of essays addresses research trends in the history of British leisure while also presenting a wide range of articles on cultural conflict and leisure in the twentieth century.
It includes innovative research on a number of topics, including television, cinema, the circus, women’s leisure, dance, football and drug culture.
It provides an excellent entry to leisure studies and history, while addressing the contributions of other disciplines and exploring key historiographical trends.
Three broad topics structure the collection; cultural contestation and social conflict in leisure; regulation and standardisation; and national identity embodied in leisure and popular culture.
The book will be useful to students and educators of twentieth-century and British history, as it offers accessible and topical studies that pique historical curiosity.
In addition, historians, sociologists and cultural analysts of the twentieth century will find it essential for understanding pleasure and recreation in twentieth-century British society. -- .
