The South Seas charts the idea of the South Seas in popular
cultural productions of the English-speaking world, from the
beginnings of the Western enterprise in the Pacific until the eve
of the Pacific War. Building on the notion that the influences on
the creation of a text, and the ways in which its audience receives
the text, are essential for understanding the historical
significance of particular productions, Sean Brawley and Chris
Dixon explore the ways in which authors' and producers' ideas about
the South Seas were "haunted" by others who had written on the
subject, and how they in turn influenced future generations of
knowledge producers. The South Seas is unique in its examination of
an array of cultural texts. Along with the foundational literary
texts that established and perpetuated the South Seas tradition in
written form, the authors explore diverse cultural forms such as
art, music, theater, film, fairs, platform speakers, surfing
culture, and tourism.
