Shipwreck in Art and Literature
«
"Thompson deserves praise for having assembled a wide range of essays that cover such a broad sweep of time…the collection as a whole warrants considerable merit. In its close focus on shipwreck as a way to reframe imperial expansion and technological change, as a lens through which to explore the complexities of religion, race, class, and gender through time, and as a critique of modernity in the broadest terms, Shipwreck in Art and Literature is a valuable addition to the recent revival of oceanic studies across the disciplines." --Christopher L. Pastore, University of Albany, SUNY, Journeys

Tales of shipwreck have always fascinated audiences, and as a result there is a rich literature of suffering at sea, and an equally rich tradition of visual art depicting this theme. Exploring the shifting semiotics and symbolism of shipwreck, the interdisciplinary essays in this volume provide a history of a major literary and artistic motif as they consider how depictions have varied over time, and across genres and cultures.
