Stephen Haddelsey FRGS FRHS is a British author and historian specializing in Antarctic exploration. He earned his doctorate degree at the University of East Anglia, of which he is an Honorary Research Fellow.[1] He is a fellow of both the Royal Geographical Society and the Royal Historical Society.[2] Since 2015 he has worked at the University of Lincoln.[3][4]
Early writings
[edit]Haddelsey's first book was a critical reappraisal of the novels of the nineteenth century Anglo-Irish writer Charles Lever (1806–72), published in 2000 under the title Charles Lever: The Lost Victorian.
Antarctic research
[edit]Haddelsey is the author of several books on the history of British and Commonwealth Antarctic exploration, including biographies of Frank Bickerton, mechanical engineer on the Australasian Antarctic Expedition of 1911-14 and Joseph Russell Stenhouse, who commanded the Aurora on the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914–17. Haddelsey is a distant relative of Frank Bickerton.[4] More recently, Haddelsey has focused on "post-Heroic" expeditions, including Operation Tabarin and the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1955-58 led by Sir Vivian Fuchs. He has edited and introduced Andrew Taylor's Two Years Below the Horn: A Personal Memoir of Operation Tabarin, which was published by The Erskine Press in 2017.
He is also a contributor to the Polar Record (Cambridge University Press).
