>We know of the Victorians as earnest, improving, puritanical,
>committed to that epitom=E9 of Victorian social thinking, "rational
>recreation". Perhaps the time has come to extend our knowledge
>to the other, less respectable, side of Victorian recreation, in
>which the Victorians really were "at play". Proposals (300
>words)  for papers are thus invited which deal with any aspect of
>Victorian recreation, but especially its less reputable and public
>aspects, and especially of those who in normal circumstances
>might well have adopted the conventional Victorian positions.
