Publisher's Synopsis

*Sports and Sociability in Britain in the long Eighteenth Century *seeks to bring together the first extensive study on the role of physical activity, or sports, as a crucial factor in the development of sociability in the eighteenth century. While there are many studies available on the forms of sociability during this period, they rarely include or systematically evaluate the role of physical activities as part of this, which this volume seeks to rectify.
