The contributors explore important episodes in the development of cultural and associational activity in working people's leisure time. They focus on changes in cultural and associational form and highlight class situation and social conflict as key parts of those changes. All the vivid details of historical study are here: pubs, alehouses, church bands, Methodism, street football, regulated entertainment, radical culture, Whitsun holidays, music halls, variety theatres, and working men's clubs. Bound together by general argument, these studies will substantially extend existing ideas on class conflict away from work. New research findings offer a coherent account of important areas of modern social life in England from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. Contents
