In his important contribution to the growing field of sports literature, Anthony Bateman traces the relationship between literary representations of cricket and Anglo-British national identity from 1850 to the mid 1980s. Examining newspaper accounts, instructional books, fiction, poetry, and the work of editors, anthologists, and historians, Bateman elaborates the ways in which a long tradition of literary discourse produced cricket's cultural status and meaning. His critique of writing about cricket leads to the rediscovery of little-known texts and the reinterpretation of well-known works by authors as diverse as Neville Cardus, James Joyce, the Great War poets, and C.L.R. James. Beginning with mid-eighteenth century accounts of cricket that provide essential background, Bateman examines the literary evolution of cricket writing against the backdrop of key historical moments such as the Great War, the 1926 General Strike, and the rise of Communism. Several case studies show that cricket simultaneously asserted English ideals and created anxiety about imperialism, while cricket's distinctively colonial aesthetic is highlighted through Bateman's examination of the discourse surrounding colonial cricket tours and cricketers like Prince Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji of India and Sir Learie Constantine of Trinidad. Featuring an extensive bibliography, Bateman's book shows that, while the discourse surrounding cricket was key to its status as a symbol of nation and empire, the embodied practice of the sport served to destabilise its established cultural meaning in the colonial and postcolonial contexts.

This book explores the status and critical relationship between politics, culture, literary creativity, criticism, education and publishing in the context of promoting Africa' s indigenous knowledge, and seeks to recover some of the sites where Africans continue to elaborate conflicting politics of self-affirmations. Itboth acknowledges and steps outside the protocols of analysis informed by ...

The Definitive Biography Of An Indian Prince And English Cricketer Ranji Is Enshrined In Popular Perception As The Sporting Icon Who Electrified Victorian England And Scored Over 25,000 Runs Without Ever Playing A Christian Stroke . But There Was A Lot More To The Mysterious Prince Of Hindoo And Much Of It Doesn T Quite Fit With The Extant Stereotype Of The Charming, Generous Sportsman, Progressive Ruler And Enlightened Statesman. The Picture That Emerges From This Long-Overdue Political Biography Is That Of Hrh Jekyll And Maharaja Hyde. The Jam Saheb Of Nawanagar Was An Autocrat, An Often-Absentee Landlord Who Was Flayed By The Press For Ruthlessly Squeezing Money Out Of His Subjects For A Lavishly Spendthrift Durbar. He Did Little To Promote Cricket In His Own Country, And Refused To Let His Talented Nephew Duleep Represent India. More Than That, Ranji Fought Tooth And Nail To Preserve The Raj. As An Important Functionary Of The Princely Order And Chancellor Of The Chamber Of Princes, He Played An Influential And Strikingly Reactionary Role In The Period Between The World Wars. Even As An Increasingly Strident Nationalist Movement Challenged The British Across The Subcontinent, Ranji Schemed And Lobbied For The King-Emperor, To Keep India Bound To The Empire. Batting For The Empire Sheds Light On The Contradictions Between The Sussex Skipper And The Gujarati Despot, And Examines The Tangled Relationships Between The Native States, British India And The British. Mario Rodrigues Has Accessed An Enormous Amount Of Material From A Variety Of Sources To Chronicle The Fascinating Life Of A Complex Man Who Occupied Centre Stage In A Complex Era.

Cecil John Rhodes once said he had only met two creators in South Africa: himself and James Douglas Logan, the Scottish-born founder of Matjiesfontein. Logan immigrated to South Africa in 1877 at the age of nineteen and almost immediately began amassing a fortune through business, politics and his high-profile association with that most favoured of imperial pastimes – cricket. Empire, War & Cricket in South Africa explores in detail how Matjiesfontein was created and how Logan developed this little Karoo town into a renowned health resort, attracting the rich and famous – including South African novelist Olive Schreiner and England cricketer George Lohmann. But, above all, this is the untold story of how James Logan was instrumental in developing the game of cricket in South Africa at a time when the country was heading towards war with the British Empire. In Empire, War & Cricket in South Africa, readers will learn how one of the first international cricket matches between South Africa and England took place at Matjiesfontein; explore the controversial 1901 South African cricket tour to England in the midst of the Anglo-Boer War; read the amazing story of how Logan once had the captain and manager of England’s cricket team arrested as they boarded their ship home; and discover Logan’s close relationship with Rhodes and how their ‘shady dealings’ brought down the premier’s first government. Illustrated throughout with rare photographs and documents, Empire, War & Cricket in South Africa is a unique social and political history of the workings of the British Empire in South Africa during the late nineteenth century; a well-researched and fascinating biography of the man who gave us Matjiesfontein; and an entertaining and at times unbelievable story of cricket’s origins in South Africa.

From sun-kissed olive groves to frosty pine glades, cricket is played in every corner of continental Europe. But the game is fragile at its frontiers, struggling for profile and participants on a football-obsessed continent. Cricket on the Continent reflects on how the sport was exported, introduced and developed in mainland Europe, and the challenges it faced (and continues to face). It examines what lies in store in an uncertain future; casts a critical eye at the role of the ICC, the game-changing opportunities the Olympics could bring and the unique origins and development in different countries. These fundamental questions are confronted head on in a tale of matches, machinations and miracles, and a voyage through a fascinating patchwork of cultural nuances, colourful characters and cricketing intrigue that form the map of cricket in Europe.
