This is the website of an essayist, Lincoln Allison. Its purpose is to allow people the opportunity to read what I have written since retiring from academic life in 2004. The material is otherwise very widely dispersed, having been commissioned by and published in a wide variety of newspapers, magazines and websites. The essays fall into four general categories: books, travel, sport and education. There is also some unpublished material on this site including the document for the module I still teach at the University of Warwick, “Sport, Politics & Society” as well as my c/v and links to organisations I am involved with.
