Sea literature is an important component in British and American literature as well as an indispensable part of the literary canon. No matter as a geographical area for production, living, transportation and colonization, or a cultural symbol of mystery, fortune, power, conquering, and promise, the sea plays a constructive part in sustaining and enriching British and American literature. The large number of sea literature not only enriches narrative aesthetics, but also contributes to the molding of national character and culture.
