In Volume I, Bell and Armstrong construct a vivid history of boxing and probe its cultural acceptance in the late 1800s, examining how its rise was inextricably intertwined with the industrial and social development of Sheffield. Although not initially a major player, by the end of the century, Sheffield had a valid claim to be the chief provincial focus of this new pastime--largely due to the exploits of George Corfield, Sheffield's first boxer of national repute. Corfield's deeds were later surpassed by three British champions: Gus Platts, Johnny Cuthbert and Henry Hall. Concluding with the dual themes of the decline of boxing in Sheffield and the city's changing social profile from the 1950s onwards, the volume ends with a meditation on the arrival of new migrants to the city and the processes that aided or frustrated their integration into UK life and sport. 001434282 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from digital title page (viewed on March 30, 2021). 001434282 650_0 $$aBoxing$$zEngland$$zSheffield$$xHistory. 001434282 650_0 $$aBoxing$$xSocial aspects$$zEngland$$zSheffield$$xHistory. 001434282 650_6 $$aBoxe$$zAngleterre$$zSheffield$$xHistoire. 001434282 650_6 $$aBoxe$$xAspect social$$zAngleterre$$zSheffield$$xHistoire. 001434282 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001434282 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001434282 7001_ $$aArmstrong, Gary,$$d1960-$$eauthor. 001434282 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBell, Matthew (Writer on local history).$$tSocial history of Sheffield boxing.
