Antarctica has for two centuries been the subject of numerous novels, poems and plays, both by writers who have never seen the continent, and by expeditioners and explorers themselves. Apart from a small number of canonical nineteenth-century texts, these representations of the continent have been subject to very little analysis. This project examines creative written responses to Antarctica, drawing on both published works and archival material, and focussing particularly on the cultural significance of Antarctica's construction as a ?continent for science?. Research outcomes will include innovative interdisciplinary contributions to Antarctic studies and English studies.

两个世纪以来，南极一直是无数小说、诗歌和戏剧的主题，这些小说、诗歌和戏剧的作者既有从未见过南极大陆的作家，也有探险家和探险家本人。除了少数19世纪的经典文本外，这些对欧洲大陆的描述很少受到分析。该项目考察了对南极洲的创造性书面回应，借鉴了已出版的作品和档案材料，并特别关注南极洲作为一个城市的文化意义。科学的大陆？研究成果将包括对南极研究和英语研究的创新性跨学科贡献。
