In their introduction, editors Helen Tookey and Bryan Biggs show how the publication of \u003ci\u003eIn Ballast\u003c\/i\u003e sheds new light on Lowry as both a highly political writer and one deeply influenced by his native Merseyside, as his protagonist Sigbjørn Hansen-Tarnmoor walks the streets of Liverpool, wrestling with his own conscience and with pressing questions of class, identity and social reform. In the chapters that follow, renowned Lowry scholars and newer voices explore key aspects of the novel and its relation to the wider contexts of Lowry’s work. These include his complex relation to socialism and communism, the symbolic value of Norway, and the significance of tropes of loss, hauntings and doublings. The book draws on the unexpected opportunity offered by the rediscovery of \u003ci\u003eIn Ballast\u003c\/i\u003e to look afresh at Lowry’s \u003ci\u003eoeuvre\u003c\/i\u003e, to ‘remake the voyage’. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘\u003ci\u003eRemaking the Voyage\u003c\/i\u003e makes a major contribution to Lowry studies, perhaps unsurprisingly given the strength of the academic contributors.
