  • Sport and Masculinity in Victorian Popular
    MARKED MEN: SPORT AND MASCULINITY IN VICTORIAN POPULAR CULTURE, 1866-1904 by Shannon Rose Smith A thesis submitted to the Department of English Language and Literature In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (July 2012) Copyright ©Shannon Rose Smith, 2012 Abstract In Marked Men: Sport and Masculinity in Victorian Popular Culture, 1866-1904 I examine the representation of the figure of the Victorian sportsman in different areas of nineteenth-century popular culture – newspapers, spectacular melodrama, and series detective fiction – and how these depictions register diverse incarnations of this figure, demonstrating a discomfort with, and anxiety about, the way in which the sporting experience after the Industrial Revolution influenced gender ideology, specifically that related to ideas of manliness. Far from simply celebrating the modern experience of sport as one that works to produce manly men, coverage in the Victorian press of sporting events such as the 1869 Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race, spectacular melodramas by Dion Boucicault, and series detective fiction by Arthur Conan Doyle and Arthur Morrison, all recognize that the relationship between men and modern sport is a complex, if fraught one; it produces men who are “marked” in a variety of ways by their sporting experience. This recognition is at the heart of our own understandings of this relationship in the twenty-first century. ii Acknowledgements I would like to express my lasting gratitude to Maggie Berg and Mary Louise Adams, under whose supervision I conducted the research for my study; both have had a marked impact on the kind of scholar I have become and both have taught me many lessons about the challenges and joys of scholarship.

  • Anna Meares OAM
    Anna Meares OAM Olympic Gold Medal Sportswoman & Motivational Speaker Anna Meares OAM is the only athlete in Australian Olympic history, from any sport, to win individual medals at four consecutive Olympic Games. When the legendary Australian track cyclist retired after the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, she held 11 World Championship crowns, making her the most successful and decorated female track cyclist in history. In demand as a motivational speaker, Anna Meares is down to earth, friendly, impressive and incredibly driven. Her story is one of courage and inspiration, tragedy and triumph. She never fails to win peoples’ hearts within seconds. Anna Meares was inspired to cycle when she watched Kathy Watt win a gold medal at the 1994 Commonwealth Games. She began competitive cycling that same year at the age of just 11, following her older sister Kerrie into the sport. Weekend training involved driving more than 300km each way to the nearest cycling track in Mackay, Queensland. Anna made steady progression to the upper ranks of Australian cycling, gaining many accolades along the way. Her achievements include Australian Junior Women’s Track Cyclist of the Year and selection for the 2002 Commonwealth Games team for Manchester. Four years later, Anna was honoured to be the nation’s flagger for the Rio Olympics. At these Games, Anna broke the 500m World record and won another world title, taking her career total to 11 World Championship crowns. She went on to win her sixth Olympic career medal, a bronze in the kern. This medal makes Anna the only athlete in Australian Olympic history from any sport to win individual medals at four consecutive Olympic Games.
