Echoing greens : how cricket shaped the English imagination
Cooper, Brendan, 1980-2024
Book
The importance of cricket to England has been immortalised in the art and literature of a thousand years. For countless artists and writers across the centuries, the culture and aesthetics of cricket - white-clad players, the crack of bat on ball, booming appeals, admiring applause, figures running up to bowl, batsmen leaning, waiting, swinging the blade - have been as essential to the English landscape as the hills and meadows immortalised by Gainsborough, Constable and Turner. 'Echoing Greens' is a fascinating and thoughtful exploration of the bond between cricket and the English imagination.
