Lady Franklin's Revenge
Ken McGoogan [Ken McGoogan]When Sir John Franklin disappeared into the Arctic in 1845, it was his adventurous wife, Jane Franklin, who kept the search for him alive and, as a result, contributed more to the discovery and mapping of the North than any explorer. A third masterful biography from historian Ken McGoogan, Lady Franklin's Revenge is the richly documented story of a complex, ambitious Victorian arguably the greatest woman traveller of the 19th century and the transformation of a failed expedition into a triumphant legend. A Globe and Mail Book of the Year, and shortlisted for the Ontario Libraries Evergreen Award, Lady Franklin's Revenge is an exquisitely illustrated epic adventure.
