A Cultural History of Sport in the Age of Enlightenment

Mallinckrodt, Rebekka von / McClelland, John / Dyreson, Mark / Vamplew, Wray

A Cultural History of Sport in the Age of Enlightenment

A Cultural History of Sport in the Age of Enlightenment covers the period 1650 to 1800, a period often seen as a time of decline in sporting practice and literature. In fact, a rich sporting culture existed and sports were practised by both men and women at all levels of society. The Enlightenment called into question many of the earlier notions of religion, gender, and rank which had previously shaped sporting activities and also initiated the commercialization, professionalization and associativity which were to define modern sport.

The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Sport presents the first comprehensive history from classical antiquity to today, covering all forms and aspects of sport and its ever-changing social, cultural, political, and economic context and impact. The themes covered in each volume are the purpose of sport, sporting time and sporting space, products, training and technology, rules and order, conflict and accommodation, inclusion, exclusion and segregation, minds, bodies and identities, representation.

Rebekka von Mallinckrodt is Professor at the University of Bremen, Germany.
