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.
