The Games Ethic and Imperialism - Aspects of the Diffusion of an Ideal (Paperback, 2 Ed)

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.
