PHILLIPS, MATT
- Abstract
The article discusses that in his 1582 "A discourse written by one Miles Philips Englishman, put on shore in the West Indies by Mr John Hawkins," Miles Philips delivers a tale of shipwreck and captivity that ends with his heroic return to England. In 1934, Evelyn Waugh publishes the novel A Handful of Dust, another narrative of captivity, where protagonist Tony Last will live out the rest of his days imprisoned, reading Charles Dickens to his illiterate captor, Mr. Todd.
