Description
This is an anthology of writing about the sea from Anglo-Saxon times to the present day. It is extraordinarily varied, including fiction and non-fiction, prose and poetry, documentary accounts, and oceanographic writing. Familiar names, such as Byron, Defoe, Melville, and Conrad are well represented, but there are many new names too.
