Examines five modernists in different disciplines - biology, painting, drama, fiction, and anthropology - whose work on islands made them famous. This text explores the extent to which islands inspired these radical thinkers - Charles Darwin, Paul Gauguin, John Millington Synge, DH Lawrence, and Margaret Mead - to perform innovative work.
