Neuware - Rusticus Or The Future of the CountrysideMartin S BriggsOriginally published in 1926'Few of the fifty volumes, provocative and brilliant as most of them have been, capture our imagination as does this one.' Daily Telegraph'The book is a pamphlet, though it has the form and charm of a book.'

Daily Herald'Points out some of the pinnacles of unreason climbed by those trying to separate amateur from professional.' Manchester Guardian Predicting a time when sport as a separate human activity, having served its purpose in the evolution of mankind, will cease to exist this volume discusses issues such as blood sports, amateur sports and the role of gender in sport. 112pp.…
