THE STORY OF SPORT IN
ENGLAND
This book tells the fascinating story of sport in England, from its earliest beginnings in
social play and pastimes, via its adoption as an alternative to the routine of urban life, to
its consumption as the product of a global industry.
Along the way, key themes and issues in the history of sport are examined, including:
■ The role of social structures—the influence of society on sport, and sport on society
■ The emergence of sport ‘welfarism’ and ‘sport for all’
■ The growth of the popular press, and the television revolution
■ Globalisation and the sports industry
■ Twenty-first century sport—the present and future of sport and leisure.
The Story of Sport in England is an accessible and comprehensive history for A-level
students and undergraduates, and an ideal introduction for anyone with an interest in
sport history.
Neil Wigglesworth is Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of History at
Lancaster University, UK.
