COENEN* Few tales from human experience are more compelling than that of the mutiny on the Bounty and its extraordinary after- math. On April 28, 1789, crew members of the Bounty, led by Fletcher Christian, seized the ship and its commanding officer, William Bligh.' After being set adrift with eighteen sympathiz- ers in the Bounty's launch, Bligh navigated to landfall across 3600 miles of ocean in "the greatest open-boat voyage in the his- tory of the sea."2 Christian, in the meantime, recognized that only the gallows awaited him in England and so laid plans to start a new and hidden life in the South Pacific.' After briefly returning to Tahiti, Christian set sail for the most untraceable of destinations: the uncharted and uninhabited Pitcairn's Is- * Professor, University of Georgia Law School.

  • Mutiny on the Bounty: a Piece of Colonial Historical Fiction Sylvie Largeaud-Ortega University of French Polynesia
    4 Nordhoff and Hall’s Mutiny on the Bounty: A Piece of Colonial Historical Fiction Sylvie Largeaud-Ortega University of French Polynesia Introduction Various Bounty narratives emerged as early as 1790. Today, prominent among them are one 20th-century novel and three Hollywood movies. The novel,Mutiny on the Bounty (1932), was written by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall, two American writers who had ‘crossed the beach’1 and settled in Tahiti. Mutiny on the Bounty2 is the first volume of their Bounty Trilogy (1936) – which also includes Men against the Sea (1934), the narrative of Bligh’s open-boat voyage, and Pitcairn’s Island (1934), the tale of the mutineers’ final Pacific settlement. The novel was first serialised in the Saturday Evening Post before going on to sell 25 million copies3 and being translated into 35 languages. It was so successful that it inspired the scripts of three Hollywood hits; Nordhoff and Hall’s Mutiny strongly contributed to substantiating the enduring 1 Greg Dening, ‘Writing, Rewriting the Beach: An Essay’, in Alun Munslow & Robert A Rosenstone (eds), Experiments in Rethinking History, New York & London, Routledge, 2004, p 54. 2 Henceforth referred to in this chapter as Mutiny. 3 The number of copies sold during the Depression suggests something about the appeal of the story.

Having never been a follower of their sets of ideas, ample evidence has been found in recreational and sociological literatures, and at work, to support the contention that they are more important that I had previously thought.

    Selected Recommended Reading List for AP English Language and Composition For this assignment, you are expected to choose challenging American literature of recognized importance. Here are some suggestions. If you choose any literature not on this list, get the teacher’s approval. Woe unto him/her who turns in this assignment without having obtained approval; s/he will fail this assignment! Adams, Henry, The Education of Henry Adams in Novels, 818.409 ADA These are the best known works of Henry Adams, one of the most powerful and original minds to confront the American scene from the Civil War to the first World War. The Education of Henry Adams is on this reading list and is this anthology. Ambrose, Stephen, Band of Brothers, FIC AMB As grippingly as any novelist, preeminent World War II historian Stephen Ambrose tells the horrifying, hallucinatory saga of Easy Company, whose 147 members he calls the nonpareil combat paratroopers on earth circa 1941-45. Ambrose takes us along on Easy Company's trip from grueling basic training to Utah Beach on D-day, where a dozen of them turned German cannons into dynamited ruins resembling "half- peeled bananas," on to the Battle of the Bulge, the liberation of part of the Dachau concentration camp, and a large party at Hitler's "Eagle's Nest," where they drank the madman's (surprisingly inferior) champagne. Of Ambrose's main sources, three soldiers became rich civilians; at least eight became teachers; one became Albert Speer's jailer; one prosecuted Bobby Kennedy's assassin; another became a mountain recluse; the despised, sadistic C.O.

  • Caroline Alexander, the Bounty: the True Story of the Mutiny on the Bounty
    Caroline Alexander, The Bounty: The True Story of the Mutiny on the Bounty. (New York: Viking / Penguin, 2003) 491 pp. by David Curtis Wright University of Calgary The well-known story of the 1789 mutiny led by Fletcher Christian against Lieutenant William Bligh, commander of HMAV Bounty, has been the subject of three Hollywood movies and dozens of books, the most famous and readable being the magnificent historical novel The Bounty Trilogy (Mutiny on the Bounty, Men Against the Sea, and Pitcairn’s Island) by American authors Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall. Indeed, the Pitcairn Islands Study Center of Pacific Union College in Angwin, California lists on its website literally hundreds of books and articles written about the Bounty story. Alexander’s is the latest in this long line of works, one that now crosses four centuries. The very short shrift Alexander gives to Bligh’s stupendous and perilous journey in the Bounty’s 23-foot launch over nearly four thousand miles on the Pacific, sometimes through cannibal-infested waters, is puzzling and troubling. Indeed, Alexander makes only the briefest and most incidental mention that the launch actually had a sail (it was not rowed across the Pacific), and none at all that it had a tiller (almost always manned by Bligh himself). Bligh’s greatness is revealed in this open boat journey more than in anything else, but unaccountably she jumps, almost directly, from the mutiny in the waters of the Friendly Islands (Tonga) to courts-martial in England. But after this historiographical leap across the Pacific (and indeed the Indian and Atlantic), Alexander rebounds with detailed and absorbing accounts of the trial proceedings for Bligh himself and for those Bounty mutineers who were eventually captured by His Majesty’s warships in the South Pacific.
