Finally we have a Marxist analysis of Arthur Ransome's work!
How apt!
It's all to do with the means of production, distribution and control and the cash nexus. We see the author's growing enthusiasm for the lively proletarian figures of Bill, Joe, Pete and Jacky who will in due course truimph over the effete Walkers, Blacketts and Callums!
Coming in the next edition (order now!) a Structuralist interpretation of the texts, with due consideration paid to Levi-Strauss's work on the anthropology of island communities...
...followed by deconstruction a la Derrida, laying bare the underlying structure of the meta-text itself - the Beckfoot plumbing!
