Description

Discover the evolution of a national pastime with A Social History of Tennis in Britain. This award-winning work, winner of the 2015 Lord Aberdare Literary Prize from the British Society for Sports History, provides the first comprehensive and critical account of the sport in the UK. Robert Lake tracks the journey of tennis from its mid-to-late nineteenth-century origins as a garden-party pastime to its modern state as a highly commercialised and professionalised high-performance sport. By studying these changes, readers gain insight into broader themes within British social history. This book explains how the historical roots of the game have shaped its contemporary structure and how the sport serves as a lens to understand the history of the nation. It is an essential read for sports historians, students, and enthusiasts interested in the cultural development of Great Britain through the lens of athletics.
