I may be some time : ice and the English imagination
Spufford, Francis, 1964-2003
Book
'I May Be Some Time' is a cultural history of our obsession with ice, Eskimos and polar exploration. When Captain Scott died in 1912 on his way back from the South Pole, his story became a myth embedded in the national imagination. Despite wars and social change, despite recent debunking, it is still there.
