In Popular Culture
In Patrick O'Brian's The Golden Ocean (1956) and The Unknown Shore (1959) both depict fictional pairs of young men loosely based on real seaman who participate in Anson's voyage. In these two novels, O'Brian began to develop the models for the characters of Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin as well as the storytelling techniques he would use in the Aubrey-Maturin series which spawned the movie Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Like other secret lovers, many speak mockingly about popular culture to conceal their passion for it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Our culture has become something that is completely and utterly in love with its parent. It’s become a notion of boredom that is bought and sold, where nothing will happen except that people will become more and more terrified of tomorrow, because the new continues to look old, and the old will always look cute.”
—Malcolm McLaren (b. 1946)
