Drawing on an eclectic range of primary and secondary sources
Chaplin examines the development of darts in the context of English
society in the early twentieth century. He reveals how darts was
transformed during the interwar years to become one of the most
popular recreations in England, not just amongst working class men
and, to a lesser extent, working class women but even (to some
extent) among the middle and upper classes. This book assesses the
social, economic and cultural forces behind this transformation.
This work also considers the growth of the darts manufacturing
industry and assesses the overall effect the growing popularity of
darts had on interwar society and popular culture, with particular
reference to the changing culture and form of the English public
house. This original study will be of interest to sports
historians, social historians, business historians, sociologists
and sports scientists. -- .
