British Clubs and Societies 1580-1800: The Origins of an Associational World - Oxford Studies in Social History
Clark, Peter (, Professor of European Urban HistoryUniversity of Helsinki)
This book provides an account of the rise of social institutions in Georgian Britain: the British clubs and societies, thousands of which had swept the country by 1800. Ranging from freemasonry to bird-fancying, the author considers the reasons for their development, their export to America and the colonies, and examines their long-term impact.
