Description
"This book seeks to take a critical view of sport from the perspective of the humanities, drawing on literature, specifically on the writings of selected novelists and poets. The principal aim is to widen an existing anti-sport discourse to include hitherto excluded voices from the world of literature. The book commences with a review of existing pro- and anti-sport discourses and then proceeds to examine, in turn, the written works of six eminent authors, excavating from their writings their anti-sport rhetorics. In its conclusion, the book draws together the broad themes discussed in the preceding chapters."--BOOK JACKET.
