Recenzii

'Were Georgian Britons genuinely mad for gambling? Bob Harris's focus on sports wagering and lotteries allows readers to navigate an otherwise impossibly large topic, and yields important insights about attitudes toward chance across socioeconomic strata, in both metropolitan and provincial settings, throughout Great Britain.' John A. Eglin, University of Montana
