Imagining the Arctic : Heroism, spectacle and polar exploration /Huw Lewis-Jones. "Imagining the Arctic explores the culture and politics of polar exploration and the making of its heroes. Leading explorers, the celebrity figures of their day, went to great lengths to convince their contemporaries of the merits of polar voyages. Much of exploration was in fact theatre: a series of performances to capture public attention and persuade governments to finance ambitious proposals. The achievements of explorers were promoted, celebrated, and manipulated, whilst explorers themselves became the subject of huge attention. Huw Lewis-Jones draws upon recovered texts and striking images, many reproduced for the first time since the nineteenth century, to show how exploration was projected through a series of spectacular visuals, helping us to reconstruct the ways that heroes and the wilderness were imagined. Elegantly written and richly illustrated, Imagining the Arctic offers original insights into our understanding of exploration and its pull on the public imagination."--Provided by the publisher. 2017. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 910.4(98/99)
Franklin : tragic hero of polar navigation /Andrew Lambert. A study of Captain Sir John Franklin and the expedition he led in 1845 to find the North West Passage connecting the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans. Franklin, his crew and their ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, never returned - the cause of their loss a mystery. Several expeditions were launched to search for the ships in the years which followed and a number of relics discovered. Inuit evidence of the ships becoming icebound, the crew setting off on foot but succumbing to the cold and starvation and reports of cannibalism were given to the explorer John Rae in 1854. Rae's report to the Admiralty led to widespread revulsion in Victorian society, enraged Franklin's wife Jane and destroyed his own reputation. Lady Franklin's efforts to eulogise her husband and restore his reputation were supported by many leading Victorians and resulted in a number of further searches. The author re-examines Franklin's life, the background and context of the expedition and the available evidence. 2009. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92FRANKLIN
