About this ebook
""Seascape Stories"" explores humanity's long-standing fascination with the ocean, examining its pervasive role in mythology, literature, and art.
By delving into the cultural history of seascapes, the book reveals how the sea has served as both a source of creation and a force of destruction, shaping narratives from ancient times to the present day.
For instance, maritime literature often reflects a nation's identity and colonial ambitions, while environmental awareness has led to evolving depictions of the ocean in contemporary works.
By delving into the cultural history of seascapes, the book reveals how the sea has served as both a source of creation and a force of destruction, shaping narratives from ancient times to the present day.
For instance, maritime literature often reflects a nation's identity and colonial ambitions, while environmental awareness has led to evolving depictions of the ocean in contemporary works.
The book progresses by first examining founding myths and creation narratives, then analyzing maritime literature from the age of exploration, and finally investigating portrayals of seascapes in response to growing environmental concerns.
This approach offers a critical lens for understanding shifting cultural values and anxieties.
Through an interdisciplinary approach, ""Seascape Stories"" synthesizes literary criticism, historical analysis, and environmental perspectives to offer a multifaceted understanding of the sea's enduring influence, particularly within the Western literary tradition.
