Focusing on nineteenth-century attempts to locate the northwest passage, the essays in this volume present this quest as a central element of British culture.
"'The depth of scholarship evident in the individual essays is impressive, and they complement each other in obvious and unexpected ways... the book forms a valuable and enjoyable addition to scholarship on exploration narratives and provides remarkable insight into the lives of the best-remembered participants in the nineteenth century British quest for the Northwest Passage.'"
