Product Description : If Dickens was nineteenthcentury London personified, Herman Melville was the quintessential American. With a historians perspective and a critics insight, awardwinning author Andrew Delbanco marvelously demonstrates thatMelville was very much a man of his era and that he recorded in his books, letters, and marginalia; and in conversations with friends like Nathaniel Hawthorne and with his literary cronies in Manhattan an incomparable chapter of American history. From the bawdy storytelling of Typee to the spiritual preoccupations building up to and beyond Moby Dick, Delbanco brilliantly illuminates Melvilles life and work, and his crucial role as a man of American letters.
