About the book

"Just as our own games reveal much about modern American culture, so sports are a prism through which we can gain valuable insights into Victorian society. Nancy Fix Anderson's The Sporting Life: Victorian Sports and Games is an engaging and perceptive account of how sport developed during Britain's heyday, how it came to permeate most aspects of Victorian life, and what it all conveys about gender, class, race, imperialism, and national pride."--Jacket.
