内容説明
This is more than a description of the imperial spread of public school games: it considers hegemony and patronage, ideals and idealism, educational values and aspirations, cultural assimilation and adaptation and the dissemination of the moralistic ideology of athleticism.

"Well written and documented, this eminently readable book will appeal to the general reader as well as those in the fields of popular culture, imperial administrative and sports history, as well as religion and literature ... Mangan has played a key role in elaborating the links connecting bodily discipline and human value systems."
The International Journal of the History of Sport, Vol 16, No 1, March 99
"Novices in the field of sports history should begin with Mangan"s landmark study of the creation of the "games ethic" in the Victorian and Edwardian public school. In this book, extensive research, narrative skill, and a keen eye for apt quotation from wonderfully quotable pedagogues combine to make a classic in the field.
