Until recently sporting history was written by middleclass amateurs many ofwhom were Oxbridge graduates. Much of the resulting history of English sporttherefore suffers from a narrowness of cultural perspective. The growth of manyand varied sporting clubs and the development of sport throughout the countryis a vast topic which has largely escaped the attention of those historians whohave tended to concentrate on the activities of a metropolitan elite.The Evolution of English Sport uses original material from clubs and sportingorganizations to illuminate the evolution of sporting activity nationwide. Itrelates these documents to themes such as commercialism professionalismamateurism recreationalism and club fortunes. It concludes by discussing theoutlook for English sport in the next decade. «
