Shipboard Literary Cultures - Reading, Writing, and Performing at Sea (Paperback, 1st ed. 2021)
Series: Maritime Literature and Culture

The essays collected within this volume ask how literary practices
are shaped by the experience of being at sea-and also how they
forge that experience. Individual chapters explore the literary
worlds of naval ships, whalers, commercial vessels, emigrant ships,
and troop transports from the seventeenth to the twentieth-first
century, revealing a rich history of shipboard reading, writing,
and performing. Contributors are interested both in how literary
activities adapt to the maritime world, and in how individual and
collective shipboard experiences are structured through-and framed
by-such activities. In this respect, the volume builds on
scholarship that has explored reading as a spatially situated and
embodied practice. As our contributors demonstrate, the shipboard
environment and the ocean beyond it place the mind and body under
peculiar forms of pressure, and these determine acts of reading-and
of writing and performing-in specific ways.
