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.
