Description

Explore the deep connections between sport and national identity in Cricket, Literature and Culture: Symbolising the Nation, Destabilising Empire. Published by Routledge, this work by Anthony Bateman offers an important contribution to the field of sports literature. The book traces how literary representations of cricket shaped Anglo-British identity from 1850 to the mid-1980s. Bateman analyzes a wide range of sources, including newspaper accounts, instructional books, fiction, and poetry. By examining the work of editors, anthologists, and historians, the text explains how a long tradition of literary discourse helped establish the cultural status and meaning of cricket. This study leads to the discovery of little-known texts and provides a fresh reinterpretation of well-known works through a critical lens. It is an essential resource for those studying social and cultural history, literature, or the evolution of sports in the British Empire.
