PETER QUARTERMAINE Dr Peter Quartermaine was born in 1942 and is Director of the Centre for American & Commonwealth Arts and Studies (AmCAS) at the University of Exeter. He has lived in several countries, including India and Australia, and has lectured and published extensively on contemporary visual arts and literature throughout Europe, in the States and in Australia. He is a Caird Associate Fellow of the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in 1988. His research takes him to Australia regularly, and he travels widely throughout Europe with his ltalian wife Luisa. His scholarly works include standard studies of Australia's leading writer, Thomas Keneally (1991) and painter, Jeffrey Smart (1983); he is a major contributor to the new Oxford Companion to Twentieth Century Literature in English. His interest in merchant shipping dates from childhood, and was quickened by coastal and deepsea voyages on cargo vessels in the 1960s. Previously the author of two brief histories of British shipping companies, as well as several studies in contemporary literature and visual art, this is his first exploration of a topic he believes will command increasing attention from scholars and industry in the future. In the meantime, he has bought a mooring on the River Exe and is seeking a suitably architectural boat.
