Football in Fiction represents the most comprehensive historical
mapping and analysis of novels related to association football
(soccer). It offers a theoretically informed field guide, a
scholarly cartography of football fiction's uncertain - and until
now - only partially explored terrain. Combining an extensive
search for texts with up-to-date academic research, journals,
surveys, catalogues, and reviews the book demonstrates a
topographic perspective of the field - one that captures and
establishes its breadth, depth, and distinctive identity. The book
uses and adapts two distinct reading models of abstraction, in
conjunction with closer textual analyses. Together they assist in
realising a set of demonstrable conventions, outline a taxonomy of
fictive types, establish the genre's current state of play, and
advance the football novel as a form with its own literary history
and traditions. This book is a valuable resource for those studying
and researching in the areas of the social and cultural aspects of
football, sports fiction, sports writing, creative writing, and
literary and genre studies. Furthermore, related industry
professionals will find this a fascinating read, particularly
football writers, fans of the sport, and those interested in sports
history and cultural phenomena.
