This is more than a description of the imperial spread of public
school games: it is a consideration of hegemony and patronage,
ideals and idealism, educational values and aspirations, cultural
assimilation and adaptation and the dissemination throughout the
empire of the hugely influential moralistic ideology of
athleticism. The author's purpose is to capture some aspects of
this extraordinary and sometimes whimsical story of the spread of a
moral imperative; to recall for modern sceptics the period
certainties of propagandist, proselytiser and publicist; to observe
manliness viewed as a valuable and political expedient ensuring the
retention of the most precious jewel in the Imperial Crown.
