Mr Bligh's bad language : passion, power, and theatre on the Bounty
Dening, Greg1992
Books
Aims to reverse the myth of extravagant and violent misuse of power that has grown up around the name of "Captain Bligh". Asking why he had a mutiny, the author looks at life at sea at the time, the personalities aboard the Bounty and the sorts of portrayals of Bligh that we see in the media.
