商品簡介
According to Lenz, the 19th century interest in the Antarctic serves as an important index to American self-discovery and self-definition from the 1830s onward. He examines one literary product of the US Exploring Expedition, James Croxall Palmer's epic poem Thulia: A Tale of the Antarctic , and its revision, The Antarctic Mariner's Song , as well as the tradition of American sea fiction in the works of James Fenimore Cooper, Edgar Allan Poe, and Herman Melville.
