- W2314162423 abstract "Seafaring memoirs, autobiographies, and travel accounts written by naval officers, ship captains, and sailors represented a popular segment of antebellum American literature. Jack Tar's Story focuses on the “self-narratives” of common sailors “on board American whalers, privateers, merchant and naval vessels during the first half of the nineteenth century”(p. 3). In this monograph, Myra C. Glenn has selected twenty-six of these memoirs and autobiographies and subjected them to rigorous scrutiny and textual analysis. While historians have tended to view these accounts as reasonably reliable firsthand descriptions of events and life at sea, Glenn has found them to be deceptive. Although they seemed to be straightforward descriptions of what these men experienced at sea, the narratives “actually offered richly detailed, multilayered stories about their authors' experiences, including impressments, combat, incarceration, flogging, roistering, and religious conversion” (p. 175). Jack Tar's Story describes these accounts in several ways. They invariably told the stories of young men who believed they were escaping to lives of freedom at sea only to discover that their lives as sailors were characterized by shipboard captivity and harsh discipline. The author explains how sailors remembered and interpreted practices and events such as British impressment, the War of 1812, and revolutions in Haiti and Latin America. The book also examines these narratives as exposés of harsh discipline and inhumane punishment, such as flogging, on American ships. Her study concludes by describing sailors' rowdy and rough behavior and their ambivalent response to efforts to convert them to evangelical Christianity." @default.
