Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is a chronological study of the critical reactions of American and British reviewers to Melville's books based on hundreds of reviews from dozens of magazines and newspapers. From the reviews, significant information about each book emerges, important for the full understanding of Melville and for the study of the conditions of authorship in the Anglo-American world of the mid-nineteenth century. A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print. These editions are published unaltered from the original, and are presented in affordable paperback formats, bringing readers both historical and cultural value.
