Blood, Brawn, Brains and Broken Noses

Puglism. A Very British Art

Chris Sykes
New Hardback

Postscript summary

Chris Sykes takes a philosophical and sociological approach to investigating how a sport from the ancient world became the modern version in Victorian Britain, showing how its evolution was shaped by influences such as Social Darwinism, Muscular Christianity and Rational Recreation, notably through the introduction of the Queensberry rules which mandated the more ‘gentlemanly’ use of gloves.
