Couverture souple. Zustand: Moyen. 40986. Title (99 characters) Anthony Wilding A Sporting Life tennis biography Wimbledon champion New Zealand history Summary A compelling biography of Anthony Wilding, Wimbledon champion and iconic New Zealand tennis player, tracing his sporting achievements and remarkable life before World War I. Description Anthony Wilding: A Sporting Life by Len and Shelley Richardson is a detailed and engaging biography of one of the greatest tennis players of the early 20th century. The book explores Wilding's rise to international fame, his Wimbledon victories, and his role in shaping modern tennis. Far more than a sports biography, this work places Wilding within the broader context of New Zealand identity and pre-war international sport. It highlights his athletic talent, adventurous spirit, and tragic death during World War I, which cut short a brilliant career. This particular copy comes from a former English sports journalist and contains numerous pencil underlinings, notes, and working marks throughout the text. These annotations are light and erasable but remain present. Sold as is, reflecting its history of use. Condition: good overall condition, cover shows some wear, interior clean aside from pencil markings. Fast and careful shipping.

It explores the evolution of a distinctive regional literature that both shaped and was shaped by the physical and historical environment that inspired it. Looking westwards towards Australia and long shut off within New Zealand by the South Island's rugged Southern Alps, the West Coast was a land of gold, coal and timber. In the 1950s and 1960s, it nurtured a literature that embodied a sense of belonging to an Australasian world and captured the aspirations of New Zealand's emergent radical nationalism. More recent West Coast writers, observing the hollowing out of their communities, saw in miniature and in advance the growing gulf between city and regional economies aligned to an older economic order losing its relevance. Were they chronicling the last hurrah of a retreating age or crafting a literature of regional resistance.…

"The study of local and regional New Zealand history has recently become very popular. This has not always been so - at least among academics. For generations it was tucked away in remote corners of university history departments as a worthy but somewhat peripheral concern. Yet Jim Gardner, for more than a quarter of a century, has energetically affirmed the importance of regional or provincial perspectives in exploring and interpreting our past." - from the dust wrapper blurb.; 8vo.…
