Book Description
Implementing a never-before-seen approach to sea literature, American Sea Literature: Seascapes, Beach Narratives, and Underwater Explorations explores the role of American maritime activities and their cultural representations in literature. Differentiating between the 'terrestrial' and 'oceanic' as concepts, Shin Yamashiro divides sea literature into three categories: literature on the sea, by the sea, and beneath the sea. Discussing both canonical works and new books on scuba diving, deep-sea explorations, and surfing, this fascinating study recognizes sea literature's unique influence on American history.

Book Description
`The Seafarer', one of the earliest poems in the English language, makes the perfect embarkation point for this fascinating voyage through the literature of the sea in all its many guises. The practical business of Renaissance exploration gives way to the gentlemanly pursuit ofeighteenth-century sea travel, only for this tranquility to be swept aside by the archetypal storms of the Romantics. The nineteenth century saw such professional sailors as Melville, Conrad, and Masefield use the sea as a striking setting for heroism and adventure, while in more recent timesfathoming the mystery and meaning of the sea has been the territory of poets and oceanographers.Well-known for his deep knowledge of the literature of the sea, Jonathan Raban has written a lively and perceptive Introduction that pays particular attention to the differences between British and American ways of looking at the sea.
