John Cawte Beaglehole’s interest in New Zealand discovery and exploration led him to embark on his major project: editing the three journals of exploration by Captain James Cook and writing a biography (posthumously published). Beaglehole (1901-1971) advanced Cook studies considerably, improving greatly on the work of Hawkesworth, Dr Wharton’s edited version, and all other abridgements and summaries. Indeed, Beaglehole is a first start for any student of Cook.
