Editorial Reviews
Review
‘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.’ Journal of British Studies
