If Dickens was nineteenth-century London personified, Herman
Melville was the quintessential American. With a historian's
perspective and a critic's insight, award-winning author Andrew
Delbanco marvelously demonstrates that Melville 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
Melville's life and work, and his crucial role as a man of American
letters.
