Description

Explore the evolution of aquatic culture with A Social History of Swimming in England, 1800-1918. This historical study traces the development of four classic disciplines: competitive swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, and water polo. While the narrative maintains a primary focus on racing, it provides a deep look into how swimming shaped and was shaped by English society during a period of massive technological and social change. Moving from the early days of municipal recreational swimming, the book examines how the sport connected to vital aspects of life, including class, education, gender, and municipal governance. Readers will gain insight into the Victorian invention of the amateur-professional divide and how sexuality influenced the sport. This unique perspective fills a gap in sports history, offering a detailed look at a discipline that is often overlooked in broader analytical studies.
