About this book

Herman Melville: Moby-Dick by Selby, Nick. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780231115391.

This Columbia Critical Guide starts with extracts from Melvilles own letters and essays and from early reviews of Moby-Dick that set the terms for later critical evaluations. Subsequent chapters deal with the "Melville Revival" of the 1920s and the novels central place in the establishment, growth, and reassessment of American Studies in the 1940s and 1950s. The final chapters examine postmodern New Americanist readings of the text, and how these provide new models for thinking about American culture.
