The Voyage Of The Narwhal by Andrea Barrett

A terrific tale of high endeavour and polar peril, this is the story of a scientific expedition to the Arctic in 1855 and the women the explorers left behind. A brilliant portrait of Victorian society obsessed with mapping and classifying everything under the sun - including the icy Arctic - where the emancipation of women and the evolution of species are the next great revolutions just stirring into life. This 1999 Flamingo Paperback is in good condition.
