Description

Explore a unique perspective on the relationship between athletics and the written word with Anti-Sport Sentiments in Literature: Batting for the Opposition. Published by Routledge, this academic work expands the existing discourse surrounding sports by introducing voices from the literary world that are often left out of the conversation. The book begins with a thorough review of current pro-sport and anti-sport discussions. It then moves into a deep analysis of the writings of five influential authors to uncover their specific anti-sports rhetorics. By examining the works of Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson), Charles Hamilton Sorley, Jerome K. Jerome, John Betjeman, and Alan Sillitoe, this text provides a fresh way to understand how literature critiques sporting culture. This is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in literary theory, history, and the cultural impact of sports. It offers a detailed look at how novelists and poets express skepticism toward athletic traditions, making it a valuable addition to any academic library focused on poetry, drama, and literary criticism.
