"This is a massive work, its sweep is majestic. It attempts nothing less than a reading of the past two centuries of American life through the metaphor of life as a game." Norman K. Denzin, American Journal of Sociology
"...we now have the play-game critical text that will become standard in American culture study. Oriard dazzles the reader with play's suppleness and scope." Christian K. Messenger, American Historical Review
Sporting with the Gods examines the metaphors of 'play', 'game' and 'sport' as they are reflected in American literature and culture. The book traces the cultural history of these metaphors primarily through American literary texts resulting in a cultural history of America from its inception.
