v. 1.  Samuel Wallis's voyage round the world in the Dolphin, 1766-1768 -- v. 2. Voyage round the world performed under the direction of Captain Etienne Marchand in the Solide of Marseilles, 1790-1792.

Sommario/riassunto

The publication of key voyaging manuscripts has contributed to the flourishing of enduring and prolific worldwide scholarship across numerous fields. These navigators and their texts were instrumental in spurring exploration, annexation and colonisation of the Pacific territories. This series will present primary texts in English, paving the way for postcolonial critical approaches in which the reporting, writing, rewriting and translating of Empire and the 'Other' takes precedence over safeguarding master narratives. Each of the volumes contains an introduction that sets out the context in which these voyages took place and extensive annotations clarify and explain the original texts.
