On April 29, 1789, a band of mutineers turned an otherwise common,
uneventful voyage into an unforgettable legend. The confrontation
between Lieutenant William Bligh and Master's Mate Fletcher
Christian of the H.M.S. Bounty has become one of the most famous
stories in the annals of maritime history. Consequently, volumes
have been written regarding the mutiny, its protagonists and its
aftermath on Pitcairn Island. From William Bligh's firsthand
account published in 1790 to 20th century cinematic
representations, this copiously illustrated reference book examines
more than 1700 books, articles and other materials which deal with
the now infamous mutiny on the Bounty and its legacy. Covering the
most important material published from 1790 through 2006, it
provides descriptive analytical discussions of major works
including nonfiction accounts, fictional representations, poetry,
articles and movies. Presented chronologically by date of
publication, the major works trace the history of the reactions,
emotions and opinions that the mutiny has generated in the reading
public, allowing the reader to consider each work within the
cultural and scholarly context of its respective period. Each
section includes an annotated bibliography of selected works and
further supplemented with a bibliography of additional literature
from the time period. Appendices direct readers to related Internet
resources and notable documentaries, and a list of references is
included.
