Peter Heyrman & Jan de Maeyer 
Leisure and Elite Formation 
Arenas of Encounter in Continental Europe, 1815-1914

This volume investigates places where old and new elites came together, where these groups met and interacted but also where the rules and conventions for new elites were forged. The book focusses arenas of encounter and (self)representation belonging to the world of leisure and embraces also the organizations and associations which established and ran these spaces and events.
