Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Course, the Camp, the Chase A Country that has no history is said to be a happy one. A woman "with a past" does not consider it a subject of congratulation. Lucky man is, however, more fortunate, and may consider that a compliment lies hid in the request that he should write a history of his past life, since the scenes in which he has played his part may be supposed to contain sufficient interest to bear description for the amusement of others. There is another side of the question, however, which is scarcely so flattering, for such a request also implies that the active part of a man's life may be deemed to lie behind him, and that for the future he must be content to read of the achievements of younger men, instead of sharing in them as in the days of yore. There is one merit that I can claim for the anecdotes related in this book; this is that they are absolutely true, and care has been taken to check the incidents by referring to diaries and old letters, where memory might have unintentionally proved inaccurate. It is a record of life, as I have known it, for nearly fifty years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Hunting literature had its beginnings as early as the fourteenth century, when nobles hunted stag, bear, fox, and other game on horseback. As foxhunting grew in popularity, literary works that covered the sport flourished, as well. In Six Centuries of Foxhunting: An Annotated Bibliography, M. L. Biscotti has compiled all books produced in Great Britain and the United States that pertain to, or mention, foxhunting with hounds. Arranged alphabetically by author, more than 2000 titles are included. Each entry features details such as place and year of publication, publisher, book size, page count, illustrations, and binding. Nearly every title is also annotated with a description of the book’s contents, and biographical sketches are provided for the most notable authors. Narratives, histories, illustrated works, verse, fiction, and even anti-hunting literature all have their place in this volume. Six Centuries of Foxhunting also features more than thirty images of book covers and foxhunting illustrations. With appendixes that contain author, title, and illustrator time lines, and separate author and title indexes, this comprehensive bibliography is a valuable resource for researchers, book dealers and collectors, and foxhunters.

The late Victorian and Edwardian officer class viewed hunting and big game hunting in particular, as a sound preparation for imperial warfare. For the imperial officer in the making, the ‘blooding’ hunting ritual was a visible ‘hallmark’ of stirling martial masculinity. Sir Henry Newbolt, the period poet of subaltern self-sacrifice, typically considered hunting as essential for the creation of a ‘masculine sporting spirit’ necessary for the consolidation and extension of the empire. Hunting was seen as a manifestation of Darwinian masculinity that maintained a pre-ordained hierarchical order of superordinate and subordinate breeds. Militarism, Hunting, Imperialism examines these ideas under the following five sections: martial imperialism: the self-sacrificial subaltern ‘blooding’ the middle class martial male the imperial officer, hunting and war martial masculinity proclaimed and consolidated martial masculinity adapted and adjusted. This book was published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.
