Description
Robert Falcon Scott's journals, first published in 1913, tell the tragic story of his ill-fated expedition to the South Pole in 1912. The journals were found after Scott's body was discovered, and this annotated edition draws on 90 years of reflection to provide new insights into Scott's account.
This edition includes previously unused papers from the John Murray archive, as well as a complete list of changes made to Scott's original text. It also features a glossary of names, a full index, and appendixes on the introduction and the finding of the dead.
Published for the first time in this fully annotated edition, Scott's journals offer a unique glimpse into the life and experiences of one of the most famous explorers of the 20th century. The Oxford World's Classics series provides a wealth of valuable features, including expert introductions and notes to clarify the text.
