FLANDERS, Judith - Consuming passions - leisure and pleasure in Victorian Britain
Illustrated. The Industrial Revolution brought with it factories, railways, mines and machines. But it also brought travel, department stores, leisure and pleasure. The birth in the eighteenth century of newspapers, advertising and publicity created a cornucopia of entertainment for a new mass audience. The seaside and tourism, novels, concerts, museums and shopping arcades - all were part of the growing consumer world.
