Description

On April 29, 1789, a band of mutineers turned an otherwise common, uneventful voyage into an unforgettable legend.

The confrontation between Lieutenant William Bligh and Master's Mate Fletcher Christian of the H.M.S.

Bounty has become one of the most famous stories in the annals of maritime history.

Consequently, volumes have been written regarding the mutiny, its protagonists and its aftermath on Pitcairn Island.

From William Bligh's firsthand account published in 1790 to 20th century cinematic representations, this copiously illustrated reference book examines more than 1700 books, articles and other materials which deal with the now infamous mutiny on the Bounty and its legacy.

Covering the most important material published from 1790 through 2006, it provides descriptive analytical discussions of major works including nonfiction accounts, fictional representations, poetry, articles and movies.

Presented chronologically by date of publication, the major works trace the history of the reactions, emotions and opinions that the mutiny has generated in the reading public, allowing the reader to consider each work within the cultural and scholarly context of its respective period.

Each section includes an annotated bibliography of selected works and further supplemented with a bibliography of additional literature from the time period.

Appendices direct readers to related Internet resources and notable documentaries, and a list of references is included.
