This comprehensive analysis of literary responses to Antarctica
examines the rich body of literature that the continent has
provoked over the last three centuries, focussing particularly on
narrative fiction. Novelists as diverse as Edgar Allan Poe, James
Fenimore Cooper, Jules Verne, H. P. Lovecraft, Ursula Le Guin,
Beryl Bainbridge and Kim Stanley Robinson have all been drawn
artistically to the far south. The continent has also inspired
genre fiction, including a Mills and Boon novel, a Phantom comic
and a Biggles book, as well as countless lost-race romances,
espionage thrillers and horror-fantasies. Antarctica in Fiction
draws on these sources, as well as film, travel narratives and
explorers' own creative writing. It maps the far south as a space
of the imagination and argues that only by engaging with this
space, in addition to the physical continent, can we understand
current attitudes towards Antarctica.
