Its highest point was The Worst Journey in the World. Then you see this decline, and this harking back, using the 19th-century form when we're not in the 19th century. That way of writing a book about the world out there - you just can't do it anymore.

In the post-enlightenment Europe of the 19th century the highest authority was no longer the Church. Instead it was science.
