This book explores the dynamics of Anglo-Australian cricketing
relations within the 'British World' in the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries. It explores what these interactions can
tell us about broader Anglo-Australian relations during this period
and, in particular, the evolution of an Australian national
identity. Sport was, and is, a key aspect of Australian culture.
Jared van Duinen demonstrates how sport was used to rehearse an
identity that would then emerge in broader cultural and political
terms. Using cricket as a case study, this book contributes to the
ongoing historiographical debate about the nature and evolution of
an Australian national identity.
