PALACES OF PLEASURE
By Lee Jackson
Synopsis
In this engaging account of Victorian mass entertainment, Lee Jackson charts the rise of well-known institutions such as gin palaces, music halls, seaside resorts and football clubs, as well as the more peculiar attractions of the pleasure garden and human zoos, to theme park thrill rides. The Victorians' unbounded love of leisure created a nationally significant and influential economic force: the modern entertainment industry.
