Download or read book British Sporting Literature and Culture in the Long Eighteenth Century written by Sharon Harrow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sport as it is largely understood today was invented during the long eighteenth century when the modern rules of sport were codified; sport emerged as a business, a spectacle, and a performance; and gaming organized itself around sporting culture. Examining the underexplored intersection of sport, literature, and culture, this collection situates sport within multiple contexts, including religion, labor, leisure time, politics, nationalism, gender, play, and science. A poetics, literature, and culture of sport swelled during the era, influencing artists such as John Collett and writers including Lord Byron, Jonathan Swift, and Henry Fielding. This volume brings together literary scholars and historians of sport to demonstrate the ubiquity of sport to eighteenth-century life, the variety of literary and cultural representations of sporting experiences, and the evolution of sport from rural pastimes to organized, regular events of national and international importance. Each essay offers in-depth readings of both material practices and representations of sport as they relate to, among other subjects, recreational sports, the Cotswold games, clothing, women archers, tennis, celebrity athletes, and the theatricality of boxing. Taken together, the essays in this collection offer valuable multiple perspectives on reading sport during the century when sport became modern.

CHAPTER XLII TENNIS-PLAYERS IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA Of all the players of old time, Edmund Barre was the most celebrated. The game which he played would seem slow in our days. We cannot say that he would not have adapted himself to modern conditions, though, from his figure, we cannot help believing that against a player like Latham he would not have stood the very smallest chance. But no account of experts can be complete without some description of his skill. The greatest player of the old school, he is celebrated for the ease and facility of his style, the power of judging the ball, and of always being in the right position for receiving it, and of returning it in the most severe and decisive way, with a great weight of stroke; for a complete mastery of tactics, for a variety of Service (his Giraffe Service being most effective); and last, but not least, for his unfailing tact and good temper. Mr. Marshall's excellent book will supply further details: I owe these chiefly to him. Delahaye (Biboche) was a careful exponent of the game, and a good teacher. The Tompkins family were also among the earliest players. Edmund Tompkins, called Peter, was beaten by Barre in 1839. Mr. Charles Taylor is one of the first amateur names of which we have records. Modern Tennis, however, must be said to begin with George Lambert, with whom I used to play frequently at the old Court in Cambridge. His underhand Service, his hard Force, and especially his Boasted Force, and his power to win Chases, were the most noticeable features of his play. I remember well how admirably he used to adapt his standard of play to the pupil. During the whole of one term he gave me the odds of HalfFifteen. Sometimes he won, sometimes I won. Every now and then he would exert...
