Book Description
This vintage book contains detailed accounts of various hunting expeditions and experiences in early twentieth-century England, with descriptions of notable participants, events, and developments. Profusely illustrated and full of interesting information, this volume is highly recommended for hunting historians, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of vintage hunting literature. Contents include: "Peterborough and the Fitzwilliam Hunt", "A Hunt in Durham with the Braes of Derwent", "The Stainton Dale, When a Trencher-Fed Pack, and One-Horse Hunt", "Mr Gerald Hardy and the Modernised Maynells", "Atherstone Hound Notes-A Hunt with Sir William Cooke and the Southwold Steeplechasing in Lord Harrington's Country", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. This volume was first published in 1911 and is being republished now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fox hunting.

Book Description
Why did killing a fox mean liberty? What did parish revels have to do with the Peterloo Massacre? What did animal cruelty have to do with the English constitution? What did the Factory Acts mean for modern football? In This Sporting Life, Robert Colls explains sport as one of England's great civil cultures. The lived experiences of people from all walks of life are reclaimed to tell England's history through its great sporting cultures, from the horseback pursuits of the wealthy and politically connected, to the street games in working-class neighbourhoods which needed nothing but a ball. It observes people at play, describes how they felt and thought, carries the reader along to a match or a hunt or a fight, draws out the sounds and smells of humans and animals, showing that sport has been as important in defining British culture as gender, politics, education, class, and religion.
