A Cultural History of Sport in the Age of Industry covers the
period 1800 to 1920. Over this period, sport become increasingly
global, some sports were radically altered, sports clubs
proliferated, and new team games - such as baseball, basketball and
the various forms of football - were created, codified,
commercialized, and professionalized. Yet this was also an age of
cultural and political tensions, when issues around the role of
women, social class, ethnicity and race, imperial relationships,
nation-building, and amateur and professional approaches were all
shaping sport. At the same time, increasing urbanization,
population, real wages and leisure time drove demand for sport ever
higher, and the institutionalization and regulation of sport
accelerated. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Sport
presents the first comprehensive history from classical antiquity
to today, covering all forms and aspects of sport and its
ever-changing social, cultural, political, and economic context and
impact. The themes covered in each volume are the purpose of sport;
sporting time and sporting space; products, training and
technology; rules and order; conflict and accommodation; inclusion,
exclusion and segregation; minds, bodies and identities;
representation. Mike Huggins is Emeritus Professor at the
University of Cumbria, UK. Volume 5 in the Cultural History of
Sport set General Editors: Wray Vamplew, Mark Dyreson, and John
McClelland
