The Story of the Voyage: Sea-Narratives in Eighteenth-Century England - Cambridge Studies in Eighteenth-Century English Literature and Thought
Philip Edwards
The first study of a century of sea-going narratives, which puts the accounts of Captain Cook and Captain Bligh in the context of narratives of convicts, passengers, and victims of the press-gang. It is a book about writing rather than explorations which reveals narratives of great energy and vitality.
