Missourians spend their time away from work in a variety of ways. The articles in Filling Leisure Hours: Essays from the Missouri Historical Review, 1906-2006 discuss several of the pastimes enjoyed by Missourians during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Editor Alan Havig has selected essays that describe popular arts and entertainments rather than high culture amusements. Circus tours instead of opera performances and dance halls rather than ballet stages engage the writers of these thirteen selections. Even lawn care as leisure makes an appearance.
Filling Leisure Hours provides a new lens for examining the role of popular arts and amusements in Missouri.
