ASRC 1819
FWS: Literature and Sport

Course information provided by the 2014-2015 Catalog.

In this course we will explore the "literariness" of sports writing. By reading a number of texts, "autobiographies," novels, historical memoirs and short stories, we will consider how difficult it is to categorize sports writing. We will read about sports codes, such as cricket, that, by themselves introduce new modes of thinking and writing about sport. We will also read about two texts about football (improperly called "soccer" in the US) that will challenge us to think about sport and literature, sport and politics, and the very form of sports writing.


When Offered Fall.

Satisfies Requirement First-Year Writing Seminar.
