Deemed by many to be a precursor to the modern interest in health and gym cultures, physical culture was a late nineteenth and early twentieth century interest in personal health which spanned national and transnational histories. It encompassed gymnasiums, homes, classrooms, depots and military barracks. Prior to this work, physical culture's emergence in Ireland has not received thorough academic attention. Addressing issues of gender, childhood, nationalism, and commerce, this book is unique within an Irish context in studying an Irish manifestation of a global phenomenon. Tracing four decades of Irish history, the work also examines the influence of foreign fitness entrepreneurs in Ireland and contrasts them with their Irish counterparts. 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aSocial history 606 $aSports$xHistory 606 $aWomen$xHistory 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aSocial History 606 $aSport History 606 $aWomen's History / History of Gender 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aSports$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aSport History. 615 24$aWomen's History / History of Gender. 676 $a613.7109415 700 $aHeffernan$b Conor$0996180 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437626703321 996 $aThe history of physical culture in Ireland$92283003 997 $aUNINA
