Ernest Shackleton Was The Quintessential Edwardian Hero. A Contemporary And Adversary Of Scott, He Sailed On The Discovery Expedition Of 1900, And Went On To Mount Three Expeditions Of His Own. Like Scott, He Was A Social Adventurer; Snow And Ice Held No Particular Attraction, But The Pursuit Of Wealth, Fame And Power Did. Yet Shackleton, And Angloirishman Who Left School At 16, Needed Status To Raise Money For His Own Expeditions. At Various Times He Was Involved In Journalism, Politics, Manufacturing And City Fortunehunting None Of Them Very Effectively. A Frustrated Poet, He Was Never To Be Successful With Money, But He Did Succeed In Marrying It. At His Height He Was Feted As A National Hero, Knighted By Edward Vii, And Granted Gbp20,000 By The Government For Achievements Which Were, And Remain, The Very Stuff Of Legend. But The World To Which He Returned In 1917 After The Sensational Endurance Expedition Did Not Seem To Welcome Surviving Heroes. Povertystricken By The End Of The War, He Had To Pay Off His Debts Through Writing And Endless Lecturing. He Finally Obtained Funds For Another Expedition, But Dies Of A Heart Attack, Aged Only 47, At It Reached South Georgia.
