A Cultural History of Sport in the Renaissance spans the period from 1450 to 1650, marking a significant shift in the perception and integration of sports into society. While Renaissance sports may have resembled their medieval counterparts, the inclusion of athletics in the educational curriculum signaled a newfound emphasis on physical education and intellectual analysis. Numerous books were written during this time, exploring the medical benefits of sport, the best techniques for jousting, fencing, horse training, ball games, swimming, archery, wrestling, and acrobatics. Sport became a visible manifestation of the mind's control over the physical body, often becoming an end in itself. The 6-volume set of the Cultural History of Sport offers a comprehensive history of sport from classical antiquity to the present day, covering all forms and aspects of sport and their social, cultural, political, and economic contexts. Each volume focuses on specific themes, such as the purpose of sport, sporting time and space, products, training and technology, rules and order, conflict and accommodation, inclusion, exclusion, and segregation, minds, bodies, and identities, and representation. Alessandro Arcangeli is an Associate Professor at the University of Verona, Italy, and Volume 3 of the Cultural History of Sport set is edited by Wray Vamplew, Mark Dyreson, and John McClelland.
