Item Open Access Association football and English society 1863-1915(Harvester Press, 1980) Mason, TonyThis is the first comprehensive study of the formative period of Association Football in England, and is a valuable contribution to the history of popular culture and leisure. Tony mason examines the origins and mid-nineteenth century evolution of the national game, in a detailed study based on thorough research in a vast number of club and company records and contemporary editions of the sporting press. He covers a wide variety of aspects-the elite of paid players, the men who paid them, the impact of professionalism, the spectators and sporting journalists. His survey also considers the growth of the game in schools and emphasises its expanding popularity among young working men. The book includes a completely new look at drink, gambling and the sporting press. Football is placed in a broad social perspective, and its impact on class consciousness discussed. Dr. Mason explores such questions as: What is meant by calling football a working class game? Were similar attitudes towards it held by both working and middle classes?Item Metadata only Persuasion by Jane Austen(Macmillan Education, 1987) Simons, J.Item Metadata only Sense and sensibility by Jane Austen.(Macmillan Education, 1987) Simons, J.Item Metadata only Fanny Burney.(Macmillan, 1987) Simons, J.Item Metadata only Diaries and journals of literary women from Fanny Burney to Virginia Woolf.(Macmillan, 1990) Simons, J.Item Metadata only Renaissance Selves and Life Writing: The Autobiography of Thomas Whythorne(1990) Mousley, A.Item Metadata only Self, State and Seventeenth Century News(1991) Mousley, A.Item Metadata only George Eliot, Dante and Moral Choice in Felix Holt, the Radical(Oxford University Press, 1991-07) Thompson, AndrewItem Metadata only A 'Meeting' between Clough and the Brownings.(Oxford University Press, 1992) Phelan, J.
