About This Item
Melbourne: Australian Scholarly Publishing. 2023. Quarto Size [approx 21x28cm]. Mint copy in a Mint Dustjacket. A New Copy. Dustjacket protected in our purpose-made plastic sleeve. Colour plates. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. 300 pages. Despite Blighâs Bounty journal being widely regarded as the most important of all of the primary documents related to the famous mutiny, the relationship between the official version of the journal (at The National Archives in London) and Blighâs private version (at the Mitchell Library in Sydney) has never been thoroughly investigated. That surprising omission has now been comprehensively rectified with the publication of The Bounty and beyond, a meticulous comparison of the two versions of the journal by John A. Fish. Numerous surprising and important differences are revealed, particularly those relating to food and drink, and Blighâs relationships with his officers and men. The comparison is preceded by a thorough historical and bibliographical investigation of Blighâs three first breadfruit expedition journals, that is, the journals of the Bounty, the Resource and the Vlydt. . New. 1st Edition. Hardback.
