The Renaissance was a period of extraordinary spirit and
development that marked a critical stage in the history of sports
and games. In Europe the development of a moneyed economy and more
refined methods of timekeeping ushered in a new era of leisure and
leisure-activity, in which the old tradition of the Shrove Tuesday
Football match deepened in the cultural consciousness. In Asia,
Sumo's gradual codification began to develop alongside ancestors of
the modern game of hackey-sack. In North and South America,
European explorers saw how traditional team sports and games such
as lacrosse and pelota could serve as an integrating and uniting
phenomenon. Series editor Andrew Leibs provides narrative chapters
on Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, North
America, and Oceania, each of which shows how modern-day form of
recreation evolved during the Renaissance. In addition, readers
will learn how to play games that had been previously lost to
history. This volume is the latest installment in the "Sports and
Games Through History" series. Each geographically arranged chapter
describes sports, games, and rituals of play, along with
descriptions on equipment and instructions for making or adapting
game pieces.
