Cricket, Fiction and Nation

Rod Edmond delivers a brisk, provocative tour through cricket’s fictional afterlives – from bucolic village greens and imperial schoolyards to murder plots, post-colonial reinventions and end-of-the-world anxieties. This is the story of how writers have used cricket to imagine England, to critique empire, to stage comedy and tragedy, and to rethink the game’s future. His book is available here:
