"An English Tradition?: The History and Significance of Fair Play" by Jonathan Duke-Evans explores the origins, development, and meaning of the phrase "fair play" in British culture. Duke-Evans traces the concept back to ancient Greece and argues that classical ideas influenced British notions of fair play. The book examines how fair play evolved over time, its association with sports and politics, and its role in shaping British national identity. Duke-Evans also addresses the paradoxes of fair play, including its coexistence with social inequalities and its use in advocating for marginalized groups. The book concludes that fair play remains an important value in British culture and calls for a deeper understanding of its significance. [Extracted from the article] |
