Hunting and other country sports became the source of significant innovations in visual art; racing and boxing generated important subcultures; and sport's impact on good health permeated medical, historical, and philosophical writings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eSporting Cultures, 1650-1850\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of essays that charts important developments in the study of sport in the eighteenth century. Editors Daniel O'Quinn and Alexis Tadié have gathered together an array of European and North American scholars to critically examine the educational, political, and medical contexts that separated sports from other physical activities. The volume reveals how the mediation of sporting activities, through match reports, pictures, and players, transcended the field of aristocratic patronage and gave rise to the social and economic forces we now associate with sports. In \u003ci\u003eSporting Cultures, 1650-1850\u003c\/i\u003e, O'Quinn and Tadié successfully lay the groundwork for future research on the complex intersection of power, pleasure, and representation in sports culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaniel O'Quinn\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor in the Department of English and Theatre Studies at the University of Guelph.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAlexis Tadié\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor of English at the Université of Paris, Sorbonne.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 376\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 9.1 x 6.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 09, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48457118253305,"sku":"9781487500320","price":163.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/E216VtLO6x9781487500320.webp?v=1780077374","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/sporting-cultures-1650-1850-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
