Product Information
Undressed Toronto looks at the life of the swimming hole and considers how Toronto turned boys skinny dipping into comforting anti-modernist folk figures. By digging into the vibrant social life of these spaces, Barbour challenges narratives that pollution and industrialization in the nineteenth century destroyed the relationship between Torontonians and their rivers and waterfront. Instead, we find that these areas were co-opted and transformed into recreation spaces: often with the acceptance of indulgent city officials. While we take the beach for granted today, it was a novel form of public space in the nineteenth century and Torontonians had to decide how it would work in their city. To create a public beach, bathing needed to be transformed from the predominantly nude male privilege that it had been in the mid-nineteenth century into an activity that women and men could participate in together. That transformation required negotiating and establishing rules for how people would dress and behave when they bathed and setting aside or creating distinct environments for bathing. Undressed Toronto challenges assumptions about class, the urban environment, and the presentation of the naked body. It explores anxieties about modernity and masculinity and the weight of nostalgia in public perceptions and municipal regulation of public bathing in five Toronto environments that showcase distinct moments in the transition from vernacular bathing to the public beach: the city's central waterfront, Toronto Island, the Don River, the Humber River, and Sunnyside Beach on Toronto's western shoreline.

Reviews
A highly original take on the history of the province's capital, Undressed Toronto reveals how the nude, male bathing of the mid- nineteenth century eventually gave way to the public beach, where men and women could be together. The author draws on a wide-ranging selection of international literature in cultural history, as well as historical newspapers and a wealth of municipal records. As the narrative unfolds, environmental change and evolving class and gender norms are deftly explored. Elegantly argued, beautifully written, and generously illustrated, Undressed Toronto is a refreshing contribution to Ontario history., Undressed Torontoimmerses the reader in the intriguing world of public bathing, exposing the historical relationship between the city's waterbodies and its human bodies. From the harbour to Sunnyside, from the Don to the Humber, Dale Barbour deftly demonstrates that Toronto's past debates about the "beach" are every bit as revealing as the choice of swimwear., Undressed Torontois a brilliant, fresh take on a subject that few other historians would consider worthy of consideration, one that sheds light on important processes of class and gender formation, environmental development, and popular cultural practices., The valuable and fascinating primary sources help readers unfamiliar with Toronto's geography understand the topic and dynamics at play in Barbour's book...
