Product Description

Review

Rightly lauded in hardback a year ago, this affordable paperback edition places sport within the context not just of British history but of the people's history. (Independent )

this is an outstanding history of sport's social role in nineteenth and twentieth-century Britain ... everyone can learn from Holt's approach to sports history (Economic History Review )

an ideal introductory text ... The range and richness of the subjects are inviting to historians, and Holt supplies us with an indispensable vade-mecum. (English Historical Review )

English Historical Review

`an ideal introductory text ... The range and richness of the subjects are inviting to historians, and Holt supplies us with an indispensable vade-mecum.'
