Product Review
'This admirable book will serve not only rugby fans but a wider academic and general readership immensely well as the authoritative work on its subject.' The Times Higher Education Supplement 'This is an impressive book, the importance of which goes far beyond French rugby. [It mixes] evocation and analysis in crisp prose, with reference to a surprisingly large literature. In Philip Dine French rugby has found a fine historian.' Modern and Contemporary France 'This is one of the definitive works on French Rugby Football . [It is] written with uncompromising scholarship.' Journal of European Studies 'French Rugby Football is written in a lucid and jargon-free style, flowing from chapter to chapter in a way that is reminiscent of the 'champagne' rugby that forms the subject of this book I found it amazing that so much has been included, in highly readable form, into a book of less than 230 pages.' Journal of European Area Studies 'A succinct and engagingly written history of the sport.' H-France 'This is a highly informative, detailed and intriguing study of French rugby. It manages skilfully to place the development of an imported sport within the the context of French society, culture and politics and to show how French approaches to sport in general have informed rugby's growth in France.' French History 'Philip Dine is the master of all he has surveyed and read French Rugby Football is a superb contribution not only to sports studies but also to social and cultural history tout court.' The International Journal of the History of Sport
