HERMAN MELVILLE A TO Z
Rollyson, Carl
Facts On File: (2001)

HERMAN MELVILLE A TO Z is a one-volume reference guide provides indispensable and up-to-date entries on the many aspects of Melville's life and work, including the historical and cultural context of his career. Descriptions of his fictional characters, and their genesis in his reading and other experience, are related to the works in which they appear. For the first time, new biographical discoveries and recent scholarship will be assembled in a single handy volume constituting virtually a new reading of Melville, one dispelling the rather somber myth of an embittered genius neglected for generations until his rediscovery in the 1920s.
