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. Simultaneously, they explore the imaginative potential of shipwreck as they consider the many meanings that have historically attached to maritime disaster and suffering at sea. Spanning both popular and high culture, and addressing a range of political, spiritual, aesthetic and environmental concerns, this cross-cultural, comparative study sheds new light on changing attitudes to the sea, especially in the West. In particular, it foregrounds the role played by the maritime in the emergence of Western modernity, and so will appeal not only to those interested in literature and art, but also to scholars in history, geography, international relations, and postcolonial studies." -- Publisher website. 650 0 $a Shipwrecks in literature. 650 0 $a Shipwreck survival in literature. 650 0 $a Shipwreck survival in art. 650 7 $a Wrack. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Interpretation. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Literatur. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Kunst. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815177 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 650 7 $a Shipwreck survival. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01761960 650 7 $a Shipwrecks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01116638 700 1 $a Thompson, Carl $q (Carl Edward), $e editor of compilation. 830 0 $a Routledge interdisciplinary perspectives on literature ; $v 19. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018023439.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170203040130.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=57614C14BEE311E3B118CA8BDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
