Mike Huggins is Emeritus Professor of Cultural History at the University of Cumbria, UK. He has published many books, chapters and articles on the history of British leisure, sport and recreation.
International Journal of the History of Sport
"a significant scholarly examination of a complex topic from which much can be learned of the intricate overlapping of leisure culture and social class in nineteenth-century Britain. To convey to the reader both sophisticated analysis and a generalised "feel" for the subject matter is no mean achievement"
Journal of Contemporary History
"a good, generally well-written and often cogently-argued text from the empirical tradition which sets out to question some of the assumptions about class-divided sports which have appeared in recent works"
Journal of Social History
"a very important and enjoyable book"
