This book is the first to deal with physical culture in an Irish
context, covering educational, martial and recreational histories.
Deemed by many to be a precursor to the modern interest in health
and gym cultures, physical culture was a late nineteenth and early
twentieth century interest in personal health which spanned
national and transnational histories. It encompassed gymnasiums,
homes, classrooms, depots and military barracks. Prior to this
work, physical culture's emergence in Ireland has not received
thorough academic attention. Addressing issues of gender,
childhood, nationalism, and commerce, this book is unique within an
Irish context in studying an Irish manifestation of a global
phenomenon. Tracing four decades of Irish history, the work also
examines the influence of foreign fitness entrepreneurs in Ireland
and contrasts them with their Irish counterparts.
