This book draws on literature, specifically on the writings of
selected novelists and poets to widen an existing anti-sport
discourse to include hitherto excluded voices from the world of
literature. The book commences with a review of exiting pro- and
anti-sport discourses and then proceeds to examine, in turn, the
written works of five eminent authors, excavating from their
writings their anti-sports rhetorics. These writers are Lewis
Carroll (Charles Dodgson), Charles Hamilton Sorley, Jerome K.
Jerome, John Betjeman and Alan Sillitoe. In its conclusion, the
book draws together the broad themes discussed in the preceding
chapters. Innovative in its approach to sport and literature and
remarkable for its not having been previously explored in any
depth, this book will be of interest to readers from both social
sciences and humanities backgrounds.
