Description

Darts in England, 1900-39: A Social History by Patrick Chaplin explores the transformation of darts as a popular recreation in England during the early twentieth century. Chaplin examines how darts evolved to become a widely enjoyed pastime among both working-class and middle-class men, as well as women, between the wars. He assesses the social, economic, and cultural forces behind this shift, including the growth of the darts manufacturing industry. This original study provides insight into the impact of growing popularity on interwar society and popular culture, particularly in relation to the changing English public house. It will be of interest to those studying sports history, social history, business history, sociology, or sports science.
