An accessible and highly readable guide to the story of Melville
criticism as it has developed over the past century and a half.
Herman Melville is among the most thoroughly canonized authors in
American literature, and the body of criticism dealing with his
writing is immense. Until now, however, there has been no standard
volume on the history of Melvillecriticism. That a volume on this
subject is timely and important is shown by the number of
introductions and companions to Melville's work that have been
published during the last few years (none of which focuses on the
criticalreception of Melville's works), as well as the steady
stream of critical monographs and scholarly biographies that have
been published on Melville since the 1920s. Melville's Mirrors
provides Melville scholars and graduateand undergraduate students
with an accessible guide to the story of Melville criticism as it
has developed over the years. It is a valuable reference for
research libraries and for the personal libraries of scholars of
Melville and of nineteenth-century American literature in general,
and it is also a potential textbook for major-author courses on
Melville, which are offered at many universities. BRIAN YOTHERS is
the Frances Spatz Leighton Endowed Distinguished Professor of
English at the University of Texas at El Paso and associate editor
of Leviathan: A Journal of Melville Studies. He is the author of
Reading Abolition: The Critical Reception of Harriet Beecher Stowe
and Frederick Douglass (Camden House, 2016).
