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 new 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.
