Stephanie Barczewski
Autor de Antarctic Destinies: Scott, Shackleton, and the Changing Face of Heroism
Sobre El Autor
Stephanie Barczewski looks afresh at the two most famous expeditions of the heroic age of antarctic exploration, Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova expedition of 1910-12 and Ernest Shackleton's Endurance expedition of 1914-16. For decades after his tragic death on the return journey from the South mostrar más Pole, Scott was regarded as a saint-like figure with an unassailable reputation born from his heroic martyrdom in the frozen wastes of the Antarctic. Today, Scott and Shackleton occupy very different places in the polar pantheon of British heroes. mostrar menos
