Histories of Leisure (Leisure, Consumption and Culture)

"[Histories of Leisure] brings a much-needed European perspective to the history of leisure, a subject which has previously tended to be looked at from the perspective of individual national experiences . . . It adds substantially to the currently fashionable study of cultures of consumption." --Economic History Review

"Framed as these chapters are within the book's wider remit of an examination of the cultures of consumption, they offer the perfect interaction between the history of sport and its partner sub-discipline, the history of leisure." --Journal of Contemporary History

"Koshar's introductory essay presents an excellent overview on approaches to and definition of leisure and its practices and rituals. Uniformly well written with fresh insights into gender, culture and the political and social life of modern Europe." --Choice
