Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the vibrant culture of competitive rowing and sculling in Britain from its early origins and evolution as a genteel and amateur pastime to a well-organised and popular sport. The author examines the growth of rowing as a national obsession through the 19th century, marked by epic clashes on the River Thames and the establishment of the famous boat race between Oxford and Cambridge. The book delves into the significance of the River Thames in British culture and society, and the pageantry and excitement surrounding rowing events. It also examines the profound impact of rowing clubs, schools, and universities in shaping British masculinity and national identity. By exploring the social and historical significance of competitive rowing in 19th-century Britain, this book offers valuable insights into the countryâs sporting heritage and the ways in which the sport has been shaped by and has reflected broader social and cultural changes.
