Produktbeschreibung

Play Up and Play the Game (1973) examines the type of fictional hero imbued with the spirit of fairplay, loyalty, fearlessness, conformity (while remaining slightly philistine and sexless), tracing his development from the Victorian schoolboy (Tom Brown's School Days) to the twentieth-century secret agent (Buchan).
