A HISTORY OF SPORT IN EUROPE IN 100 OBJECTS GEB...

Modern sport originated in Europe. During the age of Enlightenment  gymnastics and athletics
from Antiquity were rediscovered and changed into new cultural and educational forms  which
shaped both the body and the mind. The industrialisation of Britain and Europe eventually
introduced organisational patterns that gave 'sport' not only a name  but also a new structure.
This was a distinctive product of European civilisation  which spread across the modern world.
The 100 objects that are collected here are both material objects and forms of communication
which explore the transformation and diversity of sports  games and physical education in
Europe whether for training  performing or as part of other forms of celebration or festivity.
This book is the first attempt to create a kaleidoscopic history of European sport through its
rich material culture and emerged from a desire to develop transnational research in sports
history. 110 authors from 39 countries have participated in a genuinely pan-European project 
introducing the reader to the fascinating range of people  institutions and places which made
up the world of modern European sport. Includes:Austria  Belarus  Belgium  Bosnia  Bulgaria 
Croatia  Czech Republic  Denmark  England  Estonia  Finland  France  Germany  Greece  Hungary 
Iceland  Ireland  Italy  Kosovo  Latvia  Lithuania  Luxemburg  Moldavia  Monaco  Netherlands 
Norway  Poland  Portugal  Romania  Russia  Scotland  Serbia  Slovakia  Slovenia  Spain  Sweden
Switzerland  Turkey  Ukraine  Wales  Yugoslavia
