Sport: a Literary Anthology (Library of Wales) (Library of Wales)

by Gareth Williams (Author)

Synopsis

Sport is one of our consuming passions, and its literature is rich and extensive. This original and enjoyable anthology brings together for the very first time the finest writing on Welsh sport by some of our most acclaimed authors - novelists, short-story writers, journalists, historians and poets. Its wide-ranging selection of fiction, non-fiction and verse reminds us that sport, like literature, is not only about itself but also about life, and sometimes death, and the human meaning of both.
