Publisher's Synopsis

While many advocated bodily improvement for the sake of the nation's well-being, Daley shows that not everyone was motivated by such civic desires. The pleasure gained from looking and being looked at, from having fun in the surf and sand or on the swings and roundabouts, is an understudied aspect of our past.
