A single novel, an eternal classic, established him as a founding father of American literature. Now, a hundred years after his death, a favorite surge appealing in Melville calls for Hardwick's rich analysis of "the whole of Melville's works, uneven as it is, and the challenging shape of his life...a tale of the creative history of an extraordinary American genius." Hardwick's superb interpretation reveals a former whale ship deckhand whose voyages were the stuff of travel romances that seduced the public.
