- This text crystallises twenty years of research into Victorian swimming. It draws on a wide variety of sources and employs a range of methodologies and approaches, including engagement with genealogy, to present individual and collective biographies alongside broader contextual analysis. The engagement of women in the Victorian swimming landscape is foregrounded throughout and their importance to the development of swimming as both a sport and a leisure activity is exposed for the first time. The text was shortlisted for the British Society of Sports History Lord Aberdare Prize in 2020.
