Echoes of the Sea: a Study of Western Maritime Literature
by Liu Wenxia
About This Novel
This monograph uses social historical theory, combines theoretical discussion with text analysis, and conducts a comprehensive and in-depth study of the maritime literature of ancient Greece, modern and contemporary Britain and the United States and other maritime powers from the perspective of water culture. By systematically sorting out the evolution of the image of the ocean, we explore the process of human awareness of the ocean from awe to praise of the ocean, from ocean exploration to conquest, and finally to getting close to the ocean and living in harmony with the ocean. It reveals the historical evolution and connotation of ocean consciousness and ocean culture in the ocean powers such as the United Kingdom and the United States, reveals the relationship between people and the ocean, the ocean and society, and the ocean and human civilization, thereby pointing out the importance of the idea of "human-ocean harmony" and "rational use of ocean resources."
