Cockfighting is an ancient and widely distributed activity. As a historical phenomenon and belletristic topic, it reveals a good deal about a society's prevailing values and general cultural tendencies. This article first surveys the history of cockfighting in China and England and then examines some poems on cockfighting in both literary traditions. A marked difference becomes immediately apparent, the English poems being far bloodier and more explicit in their depiction of the combat. The final section of the article attempts to account for this difference
