- This work took ten years to research and write and is approximately 100,000 words in length. The research involved consulting archival materials in the Houghton Library, the Beinecke Library, the Royal Irish Academy, and the British Library. The project required me to familiarize myself with disciplines outside literary studies, in particular with philosophy (for the first chapter on the essay and for the David Hume chapter) and the history of European exploration (for the chapter on the Endeavour). The project drew on extensive reading in primary sources—essays, travel journals, periodicals, encyclopaedias.
