The ice continent has in fact configured itself as an empty space which, over time, has coincided with the desire to reach knowledge of the natural world, lending itself to a 'colonial' appropriation not so much in a physical and material sense as in terms of verbal and iconographic. In English culture the space of the far South has inspired a variety of stories, from the chronicles of explorers in the early decades of the twentieth century to contemporary female and dystopian narratives. From Captain Scott to Beryl Bainbridge, from Cherry-Garrard to science fiction, an Antarctic 'psychotopography' has been created in which the charm and mystery of an anomalous place are reflected, deeply anchored to the imaginative dimension.English literatureHistory and criticism20th centuryAntarctica in literatureEnglish LiteratureHILCCEnglishHILCCLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCAntarcticaDiscovery and explorationBritishAntartideingleseEnglish literatureHistory and criticismAntarctica in literatureEnglish LiteratureEnglishLanguages & LiteraturesBrazzelli Nicoletta752380PQKBUkMaJRUBOOK9910136407503321L'Antartide nell'immaginario inglese2240881UNINA
