To explore the interaction between James Cook’s world and that of the South Pacific, John Gascoigne begins with a recreation of the future captain’s Yorkshire homeland. He then looks in more detail at the cultural encounter between Cook and the peoples of the Pacific, discussing trade, war, politics, religion, sex and death to assess how each side interpreted the beliefs of the other. Slightly off-mint.
