Rowing can be traced back to as early as 1430 BC, with oarsmanship
mentioned in Egyptian funeral inscriptions and Virgil, including
rowing as a funeral game in the Aeneid. Rowing as a sport can be
traced back to the early eighteenth century where teams competed
against each other on the River Thames. The famous Oxford and
Cambridge Boat Race, begun in 1829, has been held annually ever
since. Author R. C. Lehmann was an English writer and Liberal Party
politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1906 to 1910.
Perhaps better placed to coach and write about rowing than compete
in it, Lehmann finished last in every heat he entered in the Henley
Royal Regatta from 1877 to 1888. He later found success in coaching
both Oxford and Cambridge rowing teams. The Classic Guide to Rowing
gives a glimpse into the world of rowing in the twentieth century,
showing how techniques, still used today, first originated.
