Remaking the Voyage: New Essays on Malcolm Lowry and 'In Ballast to the White Sea' - 86

An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library.

This book breaks new ground in studies of the British novelist Malcolm Lowry (1909-57), as the first collection of new essays produced in response to the publication in 2014 of a scholarly edition of Lowry's 'lost' novel, 'In Ballast to the White Sea.' In their introduction, editors Helen Tookey and Bryan Biggs show how the publication of 'In Ballast' sheds new light on Lowry as both a highly political writer and one deeply influenced by his native Merseyside, as his protagonist Sigbjorn Hansen-Tarnmoor walks the streets of Liverpool, wrestling with his own conscience and with pressing questions of class, identity and social reform.
