Writers and soccer in France. An anthology, Pascal Balmand
Although soccer has not been a great inspiration to French writers, the develop-ment of literary, intellectual and artistic reactions to this popular sport reveals changes in the intellectual world. A brief anthology shows two phases. In the 1920s, writers and intellectuals saw in soccer an expression of values : the development of body and mind, or the coming together of classes and nations. The 1960s and 1970s stressed the playful and aesthetic aspects of the game, along with the scholarly studies.
