''Virtual Voyages'' is a fascinating account of the European discovery of the elusive ''great south land'' told through the literature of ''imaginary voyages''. Written at the height of the era of European maritime exploration, these bizarre and captivating tales, with their wildly imaginative visions of antipodean inversion and strangeness, reveal a hidden history of attitudes to colonization. By exposing the relationship between myth and reality in the antipodes, this book casts new light on the power of fiction to influence history.
