Synopsis
In its heyday, which spanned the mid-eighteenth to the late-nineteenth centuries, the bare-knuckle prize-fight was a wildly popular sport which, as gloved boxing does now, produced some extraordinary characters and legendary bouts, both in Britain and the United States. With contests lasting hours and going into over 100 thrilling, punishing rounds, the sport drew crowds both common and elite -- from royals and politicians to writers like Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope to Dickens and Thackaray, to the middle- and working-classes -- all drawn together by the brutal excitement and the spirited wagering the sport generated. Much like gloved boxing today, average men could become superstars overnight, and they could lose the accolades and their health just as quickly.

    Love this seller!!! Very nice. Made sure the items were well packed and protected. Included a nice note and a link to other products. The books are in good shape, as described. Especially for B or even c level books focused on a classic tv show. For the age of these books, they are in remarkable shape. The price was great and the items arrived on time. All around great experience.
