Reviews

Beaven's examination of the Coventry case is a welcome addition to a literature that has been overly dominated by London and Lancashire. This is a bold study that reviews working-class male leisure, and the concerns it gave rise to, across an extensive period. Its thematic scope and its local basis usefully complement existing work. Beaven has produced a significant and timely contribution to our understanding of popular leisure in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. James Thompson, University of Bristol
