Description
Herman Melville is a major figure in American literature, and this new critical biography by Kevin J. Hayes offers a fresh perspective on his life and work.
The book explores Melville's major works, including his first two books, Typee and Omoo, and the novels, short fiction, and poetry he wrote after the publication of Moby-Dick. Hayes sheds new light on Melville's unpredictable professional and personal life, and examines the revival of interest in his work thirty years after his death.
The book provides a concise and engaging introduction to the life of a celebrated but often misunderstood writer, incorporating a wealth of new information about Melville's life and the times in which he lived.
