Sacred Turf: The Wimbledon Tennis Championships and the Changing Politics of Englishness By Stephen Wagg (Leeds Beckett University, UK) This essay is about ‘Wimbledon’, a virtually universal shorthand term for the tennis championships staged annually by the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in south west London. It looks historically and politically at the championships, treating them as a case study in invented – or, at least, consciously nurtured and carefully modulated – tradition.

  • Of Lawn Tennis Past: Exploring the Forgotten Lives of Early Working-Class Coaching-Professionals
    The ‘Ghosts’ of Lawn Tennis Past: Exploring the Forgotten Lives of Early Working-Class Coaching-Professionals Simon J. Eaves, Robert J. Lake and Stephen Cowdrey Abstract This article examines the lives of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century lawn tennis coaching-professionals, notably Tom Burke, Harry Cowdrey, Charles Haggett and George Kerr. These men, considered equally if not more gifted than the first-ranked amateur players of the period, have received scant attention or recognition, either as “expert” players or for their role as coaches/instructors within the “amateur” game. Ostensibly, these working-class boys/men sought employment in clubs, as ball-boys, groundskeepers, stringers and instructors, but, being immediately classified as “professionals”, were subsequently marginalised within clubs and barred from amateur competitions. Few outside of the club environs encountered them, few observed or learned of their skills, and fewer still reported their exploits. While many of the top amateur players of the period recognised the need for coaching-professionals, the British Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) was intransigent. They staunchly refused to sanction professional competitions in Britain, fearing they would provide a pathway away from amateurism, and propel the amateur to seek remuneration from their tennis. Coaching- professionals had little choice but to remain as “servants” within their clubs, confined by the rigid class system and unyielding amateur ethos. Hitherto largely ignored within lawn tennis historiography, these men are the “ghosts” of lawn tennis past. Keywords: George Kerr, Harry Cowdrey, Charles Haggett, Tom Burke, Anti-Professional Introduction ‘Or when the lawn Is pressed by unseen feet, and ghosts return Gently at twilight, gently go at dawn, The sad intangible who grieve and yearn;’1 When T.

  • Sacred Turf: the Wimbledon Tennis Championships and the Changing Politics of Englishness
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Leeds Beckett Repository Sacred Turf: The Wimbledon Tennis Championships and the Changing Politics of Englishness By Stephen Wagg (Leeds Beckett University, UK) This essay is about ‘Wimbledon’, a virtually universal shorthand term for the tennis championships staged annually by the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in south west London. It looks historically and politically at the championships, treating them as a case study in invented – or, at least, consciously nurtured and carefully modulated – tradition. To do so it draws on recent histories of tennis and on biographies of those involved in the enacting of various ‘Wimbledons’ and/or in the maintenance of the widely invoked aura that continues to surround the tournament. This aura is usually reduced to the single word ‘tradition’ but inherent in this tradition are inescapable signifiers of a kind of Englishness. This specific Englishness is largely of the same variety that has characterised the British royal family, who have been closely associated with ‘Wimbledon’ for much of the last one hundred years and whose own history in many ways parallels that of the championships themselves. The essay therefore also borrows from arguments both about the invention of tradition and the making of Englishness. Moreover, it discusses Wimbledon alongside the monarchy and the City of London as metaphors for England and, more generally, Britain’s changing political and economic place in the world after 1945. Origins: Behind Those Solid ‘Forsyte’ Homes Lawn tennis was formalised and patented in the mid‐1870s by Walter Clopton Wingfield, a Welsh army officer.
