The parallel lives and voyages of the explorers Flinders and Baudin as they traveled to Australia and explored the coastline of mainland Australia and Tasmania are traced in this comparative history. Unlike most historical accounts that follow Flinders's travels, this takes its lead from the voyages of Baudin and then juxtaposes the two voyages with first hand accounts, charts, and illustrations that compare and contrast the "Anglo" and "Franco" interpretations. A complex and fascinating tale is woven, one that is steeped in the language and the imagery of a unique period of world exploration.
Jean Fornasiero is a senior lecturer in French studies at the University of Adelaide. Peter Monteath is the head of the history department at Flinders University, where he teaches European history. He is the author of "Sailing with Flinders." John West-Sooby is the head of the Centre for European Studies and General Linguistics at the University of Adelaide, where he lectures in French studies.
