London Clubland: A Cultural History Of Gender And Class In Late Victorian Britain

Synopsis

This work is the first to study the gentlemen's clubs that were an important feature the Late Victorian landscape in London, and the first to discover the secret history of clubmen and their world. The wealthy men of the British upper classes have often been segregated to the realm of biography or family history, lumped in with their middle-class rivals, or dismissed as irrelevant in the larger story of Victorian Britain. This book places the English gentleman at center stage, detailing how clubland dramatically shaped nineteenth and early twentieth-century ideas about gender, domesticity, power, class, and the city.
