Medusa by Jonathan Miles
In June 1816, the Medusa, flagship of a French expedition set sail. She ran aground off the West African coast. In the evacuation 146 men and one woman were herded aboard a makeshift raft. Starving, they slaughtered mutineers and ate their dead companions. This work presents a study of the Medusa tragedy.
After a childhood in America, Canada and the UK, Jonathan Miles took a first from University College, London and his doctorate from Jesus College, Oxford. He has written, lectured and broadcast on cultural history all over the world. His books on Eric Gill and David Jones have met with critical acclaim, earning such press accolades as 'magisterial', 'authoritative', 'massively researched', 'compelling', and 'incisive'. He lives in Paris with his wife and daughter.
