Hunting and other country sports became the source of significant innovations in visual art; racing and boxing generated important subcultures; and sport's impact on good health permeated medical, historical, and philosophical writings. Sporting Cultures, 1650 1850 is a collection of essays that charts important developments in the study of sport in the eighteenth century. Editors Daniel O'Quinn and Alexis TadieÌ have gathered together an array of European and North American scholars to critically examine the educational, political, and medical contexts that separated sports from other physical activities. The volume reveals how the mediation of sporting activities, through match reports, pictures, and players, transcended the field of aristocratic patronage and gave rise to the social and economic forces we now associate with sports. In Sporting Cultures, 1650-1850 , O'Quinn and TadieÌ successfully lay the groundwork for future research on the complex intersection of power, pleasure, and representation in sports culture."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Sports $x History $x History $y 18th century. 650 7 $a Sports $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01130525 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a O'Quinn, Daniel, $d 1962- $e editor. 700 1 $a TadieÌ, Alexis, $d 1963- $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180403021729.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E04A5154370411E887D7D95B97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
