Writing the Prizefight: Pierce Egan's "Boxiana" World
David Snowdon
This book explores the literary contribution made by the pugilistic writing of Pierce Egan (c.1772-1849), identifying the elements that rendered Egan's style distinctive and examining how he invigorated the sporting narrative. In particular, it analyses Egan's inventive imagery and linguistic exuberance in the commentaries of the Boxiana series.
