Scholars of literature and other cultural practices explore the role of ships, shipwrecks, and islands in fiction, art, music, and film. They cover shipwrecks, islands, and subjectivity; the island as aesthetic concept; weathering the tempest--images of shipwrecks and islands from ancient to modern times; the island as feminine space; and experimental shipwrecks and islands as laboratory. Their topic include Robert Louis Stevenson deconstructs Treasure Island, the Gaelicization of Brasil Island from cartographic error to Celtic Elysium, hazardous voyages and contested representations in Milton's Samson Agonistes, lady castaways of the Gilded Age in Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth, and ecology and nature--a case study of how reality television and fictional films frame representations of islands.
