The changing styles of middle-class home entertainments, Melanie Dawson argues, point to evolving ideas of class identity in US culture. Drawing from 19th- and early-20th-century fiction, guidebooks on leisure, newspaper columns, and a polemical examination of class structures, Laboring to Play interrogates the ways that leisure performances encouraged participants to test out the boundaries that were beginning to define middle-class lifestyles.
