Description
This scholarly work explores anti-sport discourse through the lens of literature, examining how major novelists and poets have critiqued athletic culture across centuries. The book begins with a comprehensive review of existing pro- and anti-sport arguments before analysing the writings of five influential authors: Lewis Carroll, Charles Hamilton Sorley, Jerome K. Jerome, John Betjeman and Alan Sillitoe. Each section excavates anti-sports rhetoric from these writers' works, uncovering literary perspectives that have been historically marginalised in sport studies. By drawing on diverse literary voices and texts, this Routledge publication challenges conventional narratives around sport and expands critical discourse to include overlooked viewpoints from the world of literature. The conclusion synthesises these varied literary critiques into a cohesive argument about sport's cultural representation.
