Description
This book examines the cultural, social, political, economic and aesthetic history of Sport in Europe.
As sport has grown, progressively replacing religion, in its power to excite passion, provide emotional escape, offer fraternal (and increasingly sororital) bonding, it has become an inescapable reality linking public environment with intimate experience and thus offers the historian an opportunity to inspect and attempt to grasp all the dimensions of the recent past and their relative share in individual and collective experience.
This collection considers the evolution of modern sport in Europe and examines its relationshop with politics, gender and class.
