Episode 26: Work and Weekend

from Making of a Historian · host Making of a Historian

In this episode I talk about how workers used to get Monday off, and now get Saturday off. Also my accent goes wonky here. I seem to inconsistently pronounce the word 'leisure.' Don't worry. It annoys me too. Books: Hugh Cunningham, Time Work and Leisure Hans-Joachim Voth, Time and Work in England, 1750-1830
