Product Description
This is the first study of one of the most popular forms of eighteenth-century literature, the voyage narrative. It illustrates the variety of published and unpublished material, from official accounts to the narratives of victims of the press-gang. It includes writings about Cook and the Bounty, studies of writings about the slave trade, and accounts of seamen and passengers. This is a book about writing, dealing with the devious routes from the actuality of experience to the production of self-serving narrative.
