The Great Romantic by Duncan Hamilton
Cricket and the Golden Age of Neville Cardus
A vivid portrait of Neville Cardus, the self-taught cricket writer and music critic who rose from a hard Manchester childhood to reinvent sports journalism with lyrical, literary prose. It traces his dual devotion to cricket and classical music, his self-mythologizing tendencies, and the tensions between truth and storytelling in his life and work. Set against the game’s so-called golden age and years spent in wartime Australia, it offers a nuanced study of genius, reinvention, and cultural influence.
