Abstract
A recent trend among leisure scholars has been to multiply qualitative research approaches with regard to the study of the experience of leisure. One such method, sometimes called textual interpretation, is hermeneutics. We apply this method to a collection of essays written in 1930 about the (US) Old South under the title I'll Take My Stand. Our purpose, by way of studying these important essays, is to reinterpret the nature and significance of both social classes and their prevailing recreations and pastimes in the antebellum South. We uncover a breadth and depth to both class and leisure that has not previously been appreciated in leisure scholarship. This new interpretation illustrates a way in which hermeneutics can be useful in the leisure sciences.
