DESCRIPTION
This book concentrates on literary and poetic trends that surfaced across different cultures that were inspired by the sea, and how these themes were echoed in 19th century literature. The author navigates readers through maritime literary history to show how prose and poetry both absorbed these seafaring understandings, and integrates this discourse into a larger narrative about the sea. The author's historical research is translated into compelling prose that shows how literature has long been a vehicle to express the profound impact of the sea on human culture and society, proving insightful and accessible to the general reader.
