Editorial Review:
Product Description:
In this major reconsideration of Herman Melvilles life and work, Michael Rogin shows that Melvilles novels are connected both to the important issues of his time and to the exploits of his patrician and politically prominent family.
Average Rating: 
Rating: -
Melville studies are plagued by two contrasting types of criticism: turgid, historical treatises and fluffy, self-absorbed studies of trendy nonsense. This work, however, revolutionized Melville studies by combining historical, psychoanalytic and literary analysis in an exceptionally illuminating manner. It is without question the single best study of Melville in the past thirty years.
