Play Up and Play the Game (1973) examines the type of fictional
hero most embodied in the work and character, poetry and philosophy
of Sir Henry Newbolt. 'Newbolt Man', imbued with the spirit of
fairplay, loyalty, fearlessness, conformity (while remaining
slightly philistine and sexless), can be traced in the work of
Rider Haggard, Conan Doyle, Edgar Wallace, Anthony Hope and P.C.
Wren. The book traces his development from the Victorian schoolboy
(Tom Brown's School Days and Kipling) to the twentieth-century
secret agent (Buchan's Richard Hannay), and on to his demise in
Sheriff's Journey's End and Aldington's Death of a Hero.
