Rezensionen

"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
