Overview

"Using extensive interviews with Captain Wilson and other participants, including Lee Boo, George Keate wrote ""An Account of the Pelew Islands"". The text is reprinted here in a critical edition. It represents a genre of literary interest in non-European cultures that was sentimentally rather than scientifically framed. It is distictive in its account of the encounter between two cultures, for its anthropologically-minded account of Palauan culture and society, and as one of the fullest 18th-century accounts of a Pacific society."
