Sport and the making of Britain by Derek Birley

Chronicles how sporting traditions in Britain were shaped and how they in turn contributed to the shaping of British social conventions. Tracing sporting history from its origins, this book emphasizes how sport served different functions from the modern notion of a leisure-time relief from work.
