Summary
The eighteenth century was a time of social and cultural change. Otium and leisure were no longer the preserve of the privileged upper classes but could now be enjoyed by an ever-increasing middle class. The articles in this volume look at otiose leisure from the perspectives of German, English and Romance studies, analysing a broad range of practices from spiritual contemplation to visits to the opera.
