"The Sabbath, the Crystal Palace, and the People" by James Baldwin Brown explores the contentious issue of Sunday legislation during the Victorian era. Delving into a pivotal moment in social reform, this historical text examines the debates surrounding the observance of the Sabbath and its impact on the working class. Brown meticulously investigates the cultural and religious significance of the Sabbath in relation to popular attractions like the Crystal Palace, a symbol of progress and leisure. This book provides valuable insight into the social history of the time, revealing the complexities of religious practice, urban life, and the ongoing struggle for leisure and rest. A significant contribution to the study of religion, society, and history, this work sheds light on enduring questions about faith, labor, and the shape of modern life.
