A highly readable history of sports in the City of Light
Maxence Leconte’s edited volume Sport in Paris: Retracing the Culture of Play and Games in the City of Light (1854–2024) (Peter Lang) revisits the development of recreational and professional sporting activities in the French capital, the first comprehensive piece of scholarship exclusively dedicated to the relationship between sport, history, and culture in the City of Light. Our reviewer Kristian Gerner quite likes the colloquial and rather redundant style of writing which provides readability without excluding distinct conclusions and good summaries.
