Thompson, Joyce Carol Oates and Martin Amis. In so doing, it delivers a reappraisal of a number of key writers. As such, the book aims to unite journalism studies with both literary analysis and philosophy. At root it is an inquiry into aesthetics: an exploration of the beauty of words, the beauty (and ugliness) of sport, and the distinctive beauty that arises when words are used to capture sport. Tom Bradshaw argues that it is the writing \u003cem\u003earound \u003c\/em\u003esport rather than \u003cem\u003eabout \u003c\/em\u003esport that is often the most profound, perceptive, and beautiful, and which tells us much about what it is to be human.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2025-03-13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031767531\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-76754-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 243\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45664445464716,"sku":"9783031767531","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031767531.jpg?v=1775064513","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783031767531","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
