Sport, Leisure and Culture in Twentieth-Century Britain

From the perspective of the commercial, voluntary, and state sectors of sport and leisure provision, this book examines a number of aspects of the social history of recreation, including the development of spectator sports, the attractions of the cinema, the role of the press, radio and television, and the significance of clubs and societies. The relationships of social class, gender, and ethnicity in sports and leisure are given prominence in an analysis that spans the whole of the century.Hill, Jeffrey is the author of 'Sport, Leisure and Culture in Twentieth-Century Britain' with ISBN 9780333726860 and ISBN 0333726863.
