Editorial Reviews
Review
“One closes the volume impressed by its scope and planning, at once broad and concise, and by the good sense of the author. It can be thoroughly recommended for students and scholars will find it an invaluable help with the study of this lengthy period, in which there is still so much to be found and said.”–International Journal of History & Sport
Book Description
The history and sociological aspects of sport in preindustrial England are the subjects of this volume. Henricks traces the development of sport and its interaction with society through five time periods: the feudal era, the later Middle Ages, and the Tudor, Stuart, and Georgian eras. The book also serves as an introduction to the historical literature on English sport, connects sport to broader social and cultural themes, and develops an original thesis of sport as an identity ceremony for generations of participants.
