About This Item
Montreal & Kingston: McGill-Queen's University Press, 2005. Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Comparing the official 1784 edition of Cook's journal for that voyage with Cook's actual journal accounts, Currie demonstrates that the representation of North America's northwest coast in the late eighteenth century was shaped as much by the publication process as by British notions of landscape, natural history, cannibalism, and history in the new world..." ix (7p b/w illustrations) 215pp. An excellent copy..
