The Bounty mutiny has travelled through histories, fiction, films and the objects people collect. This volume approaches that continuing story from Pacific shores, examining the encounters and interpretations that connect the ship, its crew and the islands associated with them.
Seven essays consider Pitcairn’s earlier settlement, representations of the mutineers, the fiction of Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall, Jack London’s The Seed of McCoy, Marlon Brando’s film involvement and the trade in Bounty relics. Archaeology, literary criticism and cultural history offer different perspectives on how this maritime episode has been remembered and remade. An introduction and bibliography place the studies in context.
