A History of Sport in Wales

Contenu

The history of sports in Wales since the 19th century is charted in this concise guide for both academics and avid sports fans. An analysis of the role of industrialization on the formation of modern sports is provided along with an investigation of the emergence of organized gaming in the late Victorian and Edwardian period, the roles that immigration played in introducing new sports to Wales, and how sports helped bind the industrial communities of Wales together. Information on the rise of commercialization and television in the 20th century and its effects on Welsh sports culture is also provided.
