New Dimensions of Sport in Modern Europe offers new perspectives on European sport history in the 'long twentieth century' designed to challenge and deconstruct what might be considered 'traditional' or more familiar Euro-centric conceptions and geographies of sport and leisure-especially those deriving from the leading hotbeds of European sport history.
This anthology adds to the growing corpus of explorations of sport and leisure in late-modern European history from a variety of countries: France, Spain, Finland, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Slovenia. With topics covering several different sports and ranging from sport during empire to mega-events, and sport literature to women's sport attire, the insights provided by this new body of research demonstrate a greater understanding of the connections between sport and society in Europe throughout the long twentieth century.
This book was originally published as a special issue of The International Journal of the History of Sport.
