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.
