This book presents an overview on sport history research in Europe
by giving insights into various topics between Europes south and
north. Examples are physical activities in the middle ages in
Cordoba, bullfighting in Spain, aspects of football in various
countries to winter sports in France. Football is mainly looked at
in the period of the late 1930s to the 1940s, a period of
dictatorship in many European countries. This is shown at the
example of the German press coverage of German-Danish sport
collaborations and the identity of Spanish football during this
time. A further focus are the Olympic Games. This topic is taken up
in two articles: One discusses as its main subject the famous
painting 'Sport Allegory/The Crowing of the Athletes' created by
the father of Pierre de Coubertin, the other one has a more current
content and shows stakeholders and challenges of the European Youth
Olympics in 2015. Besides these broad topics, a focus is put on
research in sport history by reflecting on historical frameworks
and various methodological approaches. The chapters in this book
were originally published as a special issue in The International
Journal of the History of Sport.
