DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from School Days at Rugby Thomas hughes was born on October 20, 1822, in Berk shire, in the little village of Uffington, where his grandfather was Vicar. This grandfather was also a Canon of St. Paul's and spent half of his time in London, where his little grandson was a frequent visitor. Most of Hughes' boyhood, however, was spent in close companionship with his elder brother, George, in the country at the foot of the Berkshire chalk hills, in a district in which his father was a busy magistrate. His earliest formal education commenced at Twyford, near Win chester. In a letter to James Russell Lowell, Hughes com merited upon the characteristic in this school, which most deeply impressed him. The best feature about it, he wrote. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the myth of William Webb Ellis to the glory of the 2003 World Cup win, this book explores the social history of rugby union in England. Ever since Tom Brown’s Schooldays the sport has seen itself as the guardian of traditional English middle-class values. In this fascinating new history, leading rugby historian Tony Collins demonstrates how these values have shaped the English game, from the public schools to mass spectator sport, from strict amateurism to global professionalism. Based on unprecedented access to the official archives of the Rugby Football Union, and drawing on an impressive array of sources from club minutes to personal memoirs and contemporary literature, the book explores in vivid detail the key events, personalities and players that have made English rugby. From an era of rapid growth at the end of the nineteenth century, through the terrible losses suffered during the First World War and the subsequent ‘rush to rugby’ in the public and grammar schools, and into the periods of disorientation and commercialisation in the 1960s through to the present day, the story of English rugby union is also the story of the making of modern England. Like all the very best writers on sport, Tony Collins uses sport as a prism through which to better understand both culture and society. A ground-breaking work of both social history and sport history, A Social History of English Rugby Union tells a fascinating story of sporting endeavour, masculine identity, imperial ideology, social consciousness and the nature of Englishness.
