A Cultural History of Sport in the Medieval Age covers the period
600 to 1450. Lacking any viable ancient models, sport evolved into
two distinct forms, divided by class. Male and female aristocrats
hunted and knights engaged in jousting and tournaments,
transforming increasingly outdated modes of warfare into brilliant
spectacle. Meanwhile, simpler sports provided recreational
distraction from the dangerously unsettled conditions of everyday
life. Running, jumping, wrestling, and many ball games - soccer,
cricket, baseball, golf, and tennis - had their often violent
beginnings in this period. 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. Noel Fallows is Distinguished Research Professor at
the University of Georgia, USA. Volume 2 in the Cultural History of
Sport set General Editors: Wray Vamplew, Mark Dyreson, and John
McClelland
