The working men's club movement, 1862-1912 : a study of the evolution of a working class institution
This is a study of the working men's club movement from its foundation in 1862 until its silver jubilee in 1912. The structure of the study is as follows:- INTRODUCTION: The basic themes addressed in the study are set out and the method of investigation is discussed. CHAPTER 1: This chapter reviews key themes in the development of the club and the notion of 'clubbability' through a critical overview of the role of the club in British society from the late seventeenth century until the mid nineteenth century. Among issues given particular attention are the role of political factionalism in developing the club, the exclusive character of membership and the strong but not unchallenged stress upon the ~maleness~ of clubbability. CHAPTER 2: This chapter evaluated the first twenty years of the working men's club movement. It is shown that the club emerged as a product of the rational leisure movement and the specific influences which shaped the early years of the movement are discussed. This section also sets out the basic features of the club and discusses the ideology of paternalism which dominated the movement until the early 80's. CHAPTER 3: This section examines the development of the movement after the ~revolt~
