Hobbies: Leisure and the Culture of Work in America
Steven M. Gelber
Why do we fill our leisure time with the activities we do? And what do our hobbies say about our culture? Gelber traces the history of hobbies from the mid-nineteenth century through the 1950s, demonstrating that, although they are touted as a break from work, hobbies actually reflect the values of the workplace.
