A Cultural History of Sport in the Medieval Age
ISBN: 9781350023970 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A Cultural History of Sport in the Medieval Age covers the period 600 to 1450. Lacking any viable ancient models, sport evolved into two distinct forms, divided by class. Male and female aristocrats hunted and knights engaged in jousting and tournaments, transforming increasingly outdated modes of warfare into brilliant spectacle.
