A Brief History of the Titanic; 2. Myth and the Titanic; 3. 'Women and Children First!'; 4. 'We Shall Die Like Gentlemen'; 5. 'Be British!'; 6. 'Nearer, My God, to Thee'; 7. 'The Unsinkable Ship'; Conclusion; Notes; Bibliography and Sources; Index. ***'The first critical analysis of the Titanic as modern myth, this book focuses on the second of the two Titanics. The first was the physical Titanic, the rusting remains of which can still be found twelve thousand feet below the North Atlantic. The second is the mythical Titanic which emerged just as its tangible predecessor slipped from view on 15 April 1912. It is the second of the two Titanics which remains the more interesting and which continues to carry cultural resonances today. The Myth of the Titanic begins with the launching of the 'unsinkable ship' and ends with the outbreak of the 'war to end all wars'. It provides an insight into the particular culture of late Edwardian Britain and beyond this draws far greater conclusions about the complex relationship between myth, history, popular culture and society as a whole.' (Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the true first edition extremely, hard to find in its original dustwrapper, especially in such nice clean bright condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
