Pp. x, 726(last 2 blank); [Volume IV] 1850 TO 1940. Continental Exploration. [Africa, Asia, Australia and the Americas from 1850 to the early decades of the twentieth century]. Pp. xii, 1048(last blank); [Volume V] Invented and apocryphal narratives of travel. A comprehensive guide to invented, imaginary, apocryphal and plagiarized narratives of travel by land, sea and air, from the earliest times to the twentieth century. Pp. xii, 548(last 5 blank); numerous bibliogs., index of books, index of imaginary places, index of names. Together, 5 volumes, demy 4to, all First Editions in original cloth, gilt; each volume with numerous bibliogs., index of persons, index of ships; & multiple marker ribbons; a fine complete set in dustwrappers. (Potts Point); Hordern House; (2003-04-06-08-13). ***An ESSENTIAL reference for anyone interested in exploration, this remarkable work contains over 4500 major entries and index entries covering about 20,000 names of persons or ships noted in the text. The articles cover major expeditions, explorations, voyages and travels from the earliest recorded antiquity to 1940. There is extensive biographical information on the travellers themselves as well as their historical background. The text is fully cross-referenced with many thousands of references between articles. In addition, each article contains a bibliography of both primary and secondary sources (in many cases quite extensive) and in all there are nearly 50,000 bibliographical citations. An unexpected final addition to the splendid four-volume work on real voyages and travels, the fifth volume is a comprehensive survey of “the curious but compelling alternative literature of exploration; to imaginary, apocryphal and utopian journeys in fabulous lands; and to the abundance of invented, plagiarized and spoof narratives, many of which were accepted in their time as wholly credible but were nothing more than flights of the imagination, blatant deceptions, or monologues of doubtful authenticity” [dustwrapper blurb]. In our opinion this rather sells many of them short, which the book itself does not! Included are many accounts relating to ‘Terra Australias’ or to an undiscovered ‘Southland’. There is extensive biographical information on the writers and the imaginary travellers as well as their historical background. The text is fully cross-referenced and in addition, as for the first four volumes, each article contains a bibliography of both primary and secondary sources (in many cases quite extensive). Much of the information is here published for the first time in English and there are numerous entries covering obscure but real persons as well as obscure and unnoticed works of fiction which would be extremely difficult to research without this invaluable tool.

If you would like to receive ALL lists (email only) please let us know also. If for any reason you do not wish to receive any more of these lists, also please let us know and we will cease and desist. We have experimented with a number of forms for emailing orders to us but many security systems now prevent such links from working correctly so we suggest simply emailing us at: [email protected] and copying and pasting the entries of the items you want from the list above. If you encounter any difficulties, please let us know! For orders by post please use the Order Form at end, we do however recommend email as cheaper, faster and more efficient.
