A closer look at sport in England between the wars, discovering its social meaning as a recreational or pleasurable pursuit as well as an expression of national identity.
A thorough, innovative yet entertaining and readable analysis of sport as an expression of the values and social relations of a nation. Covering the years between the two World Wars, the central place of sport in English life is brought into sharp focus, providing insight into issues of gender, class, religion and locality, ideas of morality, continuity and change, and what it meant to be English during this pivotal time.
Themes include:
the nature of sport and its place in national life
how sport was portrayed in the media and through the sports stars of the age
tradition and change in sport and in society
gaining meaning from sport: the pursuit of pleasure, a moral code, and ideas of Englishness
class, social conflict and social cohesion.
This original and lucid study is ideal for students of sport and social history, and anyone with an interest in the social role of sport.
