Klappentext
In the century after the Restoration of 1660, English provincial towns experienced a cultural renaissance. This book offers a guide to the transformation of the urban landscape and the remarkable expansion in the provision of fashionable public leisure. Peter Borsay penetrates behind the new culture's elegant facade to explore its economic origins and the mixture of social forces which stimulated it: wealth, self-interest, idealism, and snobbery.
