Résumé 0

This article discusses the influence of mid-eighteenth century Arctic missionary narratives on Samuel Taylor Coleridge and James Hogg. I suggest that these narratives offer a new context for the literary Arctic and undermine established readings of polar landscapes as the ultimate example of Romantic sublimity.
