Reviews

"[Oriard] captures the self-aggrandizing illogic of the game's cultural role in his absorbing study of early 20th-century culture." - New York Times; "Oriard's detailed and well-written work shows us how the game has been constructed through notions of national, gendered and ethnic - and, as he insists, also class - identities." - Journal of American Studies"
