Description

Discover the origins of the world's most popular sports in this ambitious history by Routledge. This book examines the rapid transformation of football from a marginal, unorganized activity into the dominant winter entertainment for millions of people worldwide. Spanning the sixty years between 1850 and 1910, the text tracks how different codes emerged and evolved. Readers will learn how soccer, rugby league, rugby union, American, Australian, Canadian, and Gaelic football developed as part of the nineteenth-century commercialized leisure industry. The narrative explores the connection between these sporting codes and the era of the second industrial revolution and the rise of mass media. It is an essential read for anyone interested in how social and industrial changes shaped the way the world plays.
