Description

Read more










Owing to the decline of his contemporary fame and to decades of posthumous neglect, Herman Melville remains enigmatic to readers despite his status as one of America's most securely canonical authors. Combining recently discovered evidence with new transcriptions of long-known but rarely consulted testimony, this collection offers the most up-to-date and correct record of commentary on Melville by individuals who knew him.

About the author










Steven Olsen-Smith is professor of English at Boise State University and general editor of Melville's Marginalia Online. He resides with his wife and children in Boise, Idaho.
