A Cultural History of Sport in the Age of Enlightenment covers the
period 1650 to 1800, a period often seen as a time of decline in
sporting practice and literature. In fact, a rich sporting culture
existed and sports were practised by both men and women at all
levels of society. The Enlightenment called into question many of
the earlier notions of religion, gender, and rank which had
previously shaped sporting activities and also initiated the
commercialization, professionalization and associativity which were
to define modern sport. 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. Rebekka von Mallinckrodt is Professor at the
University of Bremen, Germany. Volume 4 in the Cultural History of
Sport set General Editors: Wray Vamplew, Mark Dyreson, and John
McClelland
