Description

Herman Melville, though possibly at his best as a poet, wrote what some consider to be the 19th century American epic—Moby Dick. Renowned critics analyze Melville's work as a novelist in this text. Along with Moby Dick, studied works include Pierre, or the Ambiguities and The Confidence Man. This series is edited by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University; Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Professor of English, New York University Graduate School; preeminent literary critic of our time. Titles include detailed plot summaries of the novel, extracts from scholarly critical essays on the novels, a complete bibliography of the writer's novels, and more.
