Abstract
Abstract Although a few social historians have recently dealt with several aspects of leisure and social class, the topic remains largely neglected in the field of leisure studies. This paper critically evaluates the dominant school of thought in leisure studies with regard to its treatment of the work/leisure relationship. Subsequently, several neo‐Marxist and neo‐Weberian approaches that place class, culture, and leisure in important analytical roles are discussed. Specifically, it is proposed that leisure can be seen to play a role in the formation of class structure, the closure between classes, class dominance, and class reproduction.
