University of Toronto Press Previous Owner Markings (Including Underlining, Notations); Light Creasing on Spine; Front Cover Lightly Chipped; Spine Slightly Cocked; Edges Lightly Soiled.

New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Inc. BOOK: Tape and Sticker Residue on Front, Rear Endpapers; Corners Bumped; Light Shelf Rub to Boards; Spine Moderately Cocked; Edges Lightly Soiled. DUST JACKET: Previous Owner Markings (Price Clipped); Lightly Creased; Lightly Chipped; Moderate Yellowing Due to Age; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SYNOPSIS: The inimitable Pearl is in rare form in Talking to Myself. This is a free-swinging book that follows literally its title though it will be an unusual reader who doesn't decide pretty soon that Miss Bailey is talking to him too. Crammed with anecdotes and with highly independent opinions about contemporary life, this book at first seems, however lively, to have little unity. But the further one reads, the clearer it becomes that there is a hidden order to the whole work. Miss Bailey discusses with obvious delight, sometimes with passion and sometimes with humor, the state of the nation, the American family, the conflict between the generations,… Read More

DUST JACKET: Lightly Creased; Lightly Chipped; Moderate Fading Due to Sun Exposure; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SYNOPSIS: This study examines the transformation of popular leisure from 1830 to 1885 and the middle class schemes for "rational recreation", which attempted to reform the leisure habits and amenities of the working classes. It is based on extensive reading of contemporary periodicals, the specialist press, government reports and social commentaries on working class life, much of it previously unused by researchers, and draws on local evidence. After describing the lively state of working class recreations and the social problem that they represented to contemporary reformers, Peter Bailey explores the phenomenon of the new leisure world which overtook Victorian society from the middle… Read More
