The MHRA is pleased to announce the publication of a new critical edition of La Peyrouse dans l’Isle de Tahiti, edited by John Dunmore.
This anonymous play is based on two well-known episodes in Pacific exploration: the voyage of Louis de Bougainville around the world, and his arrival in Tahiti very soon after Samuel Wallis’ discovery of it, and the later voyage and disappearance of Jean-François de la Pérouse.
