"In an original and provocative series of readings that range across Melville's career,
the contributors consider not only the sources and implications of Melville's aesthetics,
but the relationship between aesthetic criticism, historical analysis, and contemporary
theory. The ultimate effect of the collection, the first of its kind, is to return
us to the particularities of Melville's extraordinarily varied works and to transform
the subject of aesthetics into an invigorating and unpredictable source of interpretive
energy"
