Club Makers and Club Members

More about the book

Club Makers and Club Members offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural history of late Victorian and Edwardian England. Published in 1913, this book explores the many different clubs and societies that sprang up during this period, from the elite gentlemen's clubs of London to the more democratic working men's clubs of the North. Escott's witty and insightful social commentary captures the spirit of an age, and illuminates the complex relationships between class, culture, and identity in turn-of-the-century Britain.
