Beschreibung

Casino gambling is central to understanding the cultural, social, and intellectual history of nineteenth-century Europe. Tracing the development of casino gambling across this period, this book connects that story to ideas about chance, luck, emotions, and psychology, and reveals how Europeans used gambling to understand their changing world.
