The field of sports history is no longer a fledgling area of study.
There is a great vitality in the field and it has matured
dramatically over the past decade. Reflecting changes to
traditional approaches, sport historians need now to engage with
contemporary debates about history, to be encouraged to position
themselves and their methodologies in relation to current
epistemological issues, and to promote the importance of reflecting
on the literary or poetic dimensions of producing history. These
contemporary developments, along with a wealth of international
research from a range of theoretical perspectives, provide the
backdrop to the Routledge Companion to Sports History. This book
provides a comprehensive guide to the international field of sports
history as it has developed as an academic area of study. Readers
are guided through the development of the field across a range of
thematic and geographical contexts and are introduced to the latest
cutting edge approaches within the field. Including contributions
from many of the world's leading sports historians, the Routledge
Companion to Sports History is the most important single volume for
researchers and students in, and entering, the sports history
field. It is an essential guide to contemporary research themes, to
new ways of doing sports history, and to the theoretical and
methodological foundations of this most fascinating of subjects.
