English it must be’. Early Dutch football and its first league competitions, 1890–1891
English soccer league football started in 1888. Twelve clubs entered a round robin competition organised by the Football Association and Preston North End FC became the champions in spring 1889. The first continental country to adopt league football, lagging not far behind, was the Netherlands. The Dutch Football and Athletics Association was founded in December 1889 by representatives of nine clubs from exclusively the western part of the countr…
Looking at action: A visual approach to nineteenth-century football history in the Netherlands
The Netherlands came late to 19th-century industrial revolution but when modernization occurred, it prompted an almost feverish cultural and social 'Anglomania'. Elite youngsters enthusiastically appropriated sports such as cricket and football, which were introduced and promoted by English native speaker teachers at boarding and private schools, and by anglophile teachers and pupils at municipal institutes of secundary education. As a contributi…
The Introduction and Meaning of the Word Sport in the Netherlands, 1647–1910
In contrast with the Netherlands’ status as a sports nation, academic articles on Dutch sports history are scarce. In this paper, we would like to establish a ‘textual’ basis for further research. By means of a large-scale digital analysis, we have been able to depict important phases in the Dutch ‘sportification process’. Sport gradually infiltrated Dutch society: first it was mentioned as an English word in bilingual dictionaries, translated li…
Playing on the Field of Social and Technical Innovation: The Impact of the Sale of Lawn Tennis Sets in the Netherlands, 1874–1887
In 1874, after tennis had been played indoors for centuries, British officer Walter Wingfield introduced an open-air version of the game, which he called sphairistike or lawn tennis. He developed a lawn-tennis box that was easy to carry and that contained all the necessary equipment for playing. Wingfield's concept was innovative, not only technologically in both game and design, but also socially. He made it clear, for instance, that lawn tennis…
Wicket Game: The (Re-)Introduction of Cricket in the Netherlands, 1724–1883
Whereas earlier research has shown that (traditional) cricket was invented in Flanders (i.e. the Southern Low Countries), this article focuses on the introduction of modern cricket in the Netherlands (i.e. the Northern Low Countries). The result is a broad textual study, based on large-scale digital analysis. We show that the integration of this sport textually took place in three phases: first in small groups via billingual translation dictionar…
