| Résumé : | The revival of Gaelic games should be situated in the larger context of the codification of team sports across Great Britain. English schoolboy literature promoted codified sport as a means of forming class alliances, of asserting national identity, and of instilling the martial values needed to govern Britain's growing empire. Irish literature written in support of the revival of Gaelic games explicitly appropriates this martial language, adapting it for anti-colonial and nationalist purposes. The work of James Joyce and Sean O'Casey contests the reappearance in Irish sport of the very chauvinism, militarism, and class sectarianism that had characterized the promotion of codified sport in England |
