Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sporting Notions of Present Days and Past Writing on sport which sport devotees read is apt to be found repellent, if not unintelligible, by the non-initiated. Martin Cobbett possessed in a very special degree the art (a perfectly unconscious one no one more surprised than the striker, as he would say) of discoursing on such matters so as to appeal to all classes. It was, of course, in his descriptions of country rambles, such as are collected in Wayfaring N otions, that this charac teristic - perhaps it was his lovableness came out most continually; but in a measure it was the same with all his work, and I have tried to choose out those portions of it which exemplify his faculty of interesting all classes of readers, and specially the Refereaders, who were all his friends.

Download or read book The Cultivation of Hatred written by Peter Gay and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1993 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gay's search through middle-class Victorian culture, illuminated by lively portraits of such daunting figures as Bismarck, Darwin and his acolytes, George Eliot, and the great satirists Daumier and Wilhelm Busch, covers a vast terrain: the relations between men and women, wit, demagoguery, and much more. We discover the multiple ways in which the nineteenth century at once restrained aggressive behavior and licensed it. Aggression split the social universe into insiders and outsiders. "By gathering up communities of insiders," Professor Gay writes, the Victorians "discovered--only too often invented--a world of strangers beyond the pale, of individuals and classes, races and nations it was perfectly proper to debate, patronize, ridicule, bully, exploit, or exterminate." The aggressions so channeled or bottled could not be contained forever. Ultimately, they exploded in the First World War.

Download or read book The Story of World Rowing written by Christopher Dodd and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1992 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this panoramic book the author traces the evolution of rowing from the Vikings and Venetians to the modern era of top-flight coaching and international competition. Rowing has come a long way since 168 oarsman hauled the Doge of Venice along in his golden barge, or since Cambridge crews floated about in the days of British amateurism. This century has seen rowing as a sport transformed by the impact of scientific methods and great coaches, and by the crushing dominance of the East Germans. Competitive and amateur rowing has many of its origins in Britain and the author examines the development of some of the great events such as Henley Royal Regatta, the Olympic Games and the European and World Championships. The author is the Rowing and Deputy Features Editor of The Guardian newspaper.
