Tag: Robert Colls
Well researched, crafted and presented, erudite and thought-provoking, eminently readable
Robert Colls is Professor of History at the International Centre for Sports History and Culture at De Montfort University. His 2020 book This Sporting Life: Sport and Liberty in England, 1760–1960 (Oxford UP) has recieved a number of very positive reviews. Our own reviewer is Dave Day, Professor of History at Manchester Metropolitan University, and his review is equally enthusiastic, giving reason to believe that Colls’ book should be read carefully by all and any sport historians.
