Why read it?
1 author picked Palaces of Pleasure as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This delightful book erases the stiff, sepia portraits of a bygone age, painting the Victorian world in living color. It shreds the era’s image as fun-challenged. The Victorians knew how to have a rollicking good time, inventing popular entertainment on a commercial scale.
In two generations, theatrical performances, professional sporting events, and seaside holidays were accessible to the masses. Jackson traces the social and economic transformations that made it possible.
From Patrice's list on offbeat books about the Victorian Era.
