Annotation
This is a lively and deeply researched history of British sport since 1800- the first of its kind. It goes beyond a few great names and monents to explain how sport has changed, and what it has meant to ordinary people.
Sport and British shows how the way we play reflects not only our lives as citizens of a predominantly urban and industrial world, but what is gambling, violence and attitudes towards it, nationalism, and the role of sport in sustaining male identity, are all examined in this account which combines entertaining anecdote with more serious historical understanding.
