Caught in a hurricane, the ship separated from its fleet and wrecked on uninhabited Bermuda, a bountiful island paradise its passengers would inhabit for nearly a year before reaching their intended destination, the famine-stricken colony of Jamestown. Strachey’s meticulous account of the wreck, the castaways’ time on Bermuda, and their arrival in a devastated Jamestown was read by his contemporaries and remains among the most vivid writings of the early colonial period. Following the life of this ordinary man, Hobson Woodward tells one of the neglected but defining stories of America’s founding.<BR><BR> Strachey had literary aspirations and sought to capitalize on his epic experience, but his writings did not bring him the acclaim he sought. Only in the hands of <I>another</I> William would his tale of the wreck and its aftermath make history as <I>The Tempest</I>. <I>A Brave Vessel</I> is the fascinating account of a near-miss in the settling of Virginia, the true story behind one of Shakespeare’s great plays, and the tragedy of the man who failed as an author but who contributed to the creation of a masterpiece. 5783380 9 7 2009 A Brave Vessel: The True Tale of the Castaways Who Rescued Jamestown and Inspired Shakespeare's The Tempest total:18|5:0|4:5|3:8|2:5|1:0| 18 54 83 10 5612000 0670020966 9780670020966 18 10 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255713775m/5612000.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5612000.A_Brave_Vessel_The_True_Tale_of_the_Castaways_Who_Rescued_Jamestown_and_Inspired_Shakespeare_s_The_Tempest 4 0 false Thu Oct 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 16 10:23:10 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 16 10:33:28 -0700 2009
