Excellent- More about A Cultural History of Sport in the Age of Industry
A Cultural History of Sport in the Age of Industry covers the period 1800 to 1920, with sport becoming increasingly global, sports clubs proliferating, and new team games created. It was also an age of cultural and political tensions, with issues around women, social class, ethnicity and race, imperial relationships, nation-building, and amateur and professional approaches shaping sport. Increasing urbanization, population, real wages, and leisure time drove demand for sport, and the institutionalization and regulation of sport accelerated. The 6-volume set presents the first comprehensive history from classical antiquity to today, covering all forms and aspects of sport and its social, cultural, political, and economic context and impact.

A Cultural History of Sport in the Age of Industry covers the period from 1800 to 1920, a time when sport became increasingly global, sports were radically altered, sports clubs proliferated, and new team games were created, codified, commercialized, and professionalized. However, it was also an age of cultural and political tensions, with issues around the role of women, social class, ethnicity and race, imperial relationships, nation-building, and amateur and professional approaches shaping sport. At the same time, increasing urbanization, population, real wages, and leisure time drove demand for sport ever higher, and the institutionalization and regulation of sport accelerated.
The 6-volume set of the Cultural History of Sport presents the first comprehensive history from classical antiquity to today, covering all forms and aspects of sport and its ever-changing social, cultural, political, and economic context and impact. The themes covered in each volume are the purpose of sport, sporting time and sporting space, products, training and technology, rules and order, conflict and accommodation, inclusion, exclusion, and segregation, minds, bodies, and identities, and representation.
Mike Huggins is Emeritus Professor at the University of Cumbria, UK, and Volume 5 in the Cultural History of Sport set is General Editors: Wray Vamplew, Mark Dyreson, and John McClelland.
