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.
