The huge range of critical and academic debate about this monster
of a novel confirms "Moby-Dick"'s status as a vital and
exhilarating exploration of the role of American ideology in
defining modern consciousness. This "Columbia Critical Guide"
starts with extracts from Melville's own letters and essays and
from early reviews of "Moby-Dick" that set the terms for later
critical evaluations. Subsequent chapters deal with the "Melville
Revival" of the 1920s and the novel's central place in the
establishment, growth, and reassessment of American Studies in the
1940s and 1950s. The final chapters examine postmodern New
Americanist readings of the text, and how these provide new models
for thinking about American culture.
