AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This essay recounts Joseph Conrad’s voyage up the east-coast of Australia in 1888, an event which I term the author’s ‘Endeavour re-enactment’. It describes the author’s relationship to Captain James Cook, and the implications of his visit for Australian history.' (Publication abstract)

Notes

  • Epigraph: In a theatre of its own design, history’s drama unfolds; the historian is an impartial onlooker, simply repeating what happened. Paul Carter, The Road to Botany Bay (xv)
