About This Item
New York, Oxford first edition - h/c in d.j. Recent decades have seen controversy rage over whether Scott was the last of a line of great Victorian explorers, intent on discovering uncharted lands, or a hopeless incompetent driven by personal ambition. Rejecting the sterotypes, the author reveals a complex figure, a product of the passions and preoccupations of an imperial age. He also shows how heroes are made and manipulated. 242 x 160mm., pp.xv, 352, b/w plates, notes, index. Contents - no inscriptions, in d.j. NEAR FINE/NEAR FINE ISBN: 0192804839
