简介
编辑推荐

This classic story of high adventure, manic obsession, and metaphysical speculation was Melville's masterpiece. The tale of Captain Ahab's frantic pursuit of the cunning and notorious white whale Moby Dick, is packed with drama, and draws heavily on the author's own experiences on the high seas. This edition includes passages from Melville's correspondence with Nathaniel Hawthorne, in which the two discussed the philosophical depths of the novel's plot and imagery. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

内容推荐

In this Sesquicentennial Norton Critical Edition, the text of Moby-Dick is lavishly footnoted. Dozens of biographical discoveries, mainly from Hershel Parker's work on his two-volume biography of Melville, are included-information as specific as what Melville did with his shore clothes when he went whaling.

A section on “Whaling and Whalecraft” again features prose and graphics by John B. Putnam and a sample of contemporary whaling engravings as well as, new to this edition, “the Original Queequeg.”

Evoking Melville's fascination with the fluidity of categories like saw agery and civilization, the cover image of Tupai Cupa fittingly introduces “Before Moby-Dick: International Controversy over Melville,“ a new section that documents the ferocity of religious, political, and sexual hostility toward Melville for his early books, beginning with Typee in 1846.

In “Reviews and Letters by Melville,” a letter is redated and a wealth of new biographical information is added to the footnotes, notably to Melville's “Hawthorne and His Mosses.” “Analogues and Sources” retains classic pieces by J. N. Reynolds and Owen Chase as well as new findings by Geoffrey Sanborn and Steven Olsen-Smith. “Reviews of Moby-Dick” emphasizes the ongoing religious hostility toward Melville and highlights new discoveries, such as the first known Scottish review of The Whale. “Posthumous Praise and the Melville Revival: 1893-1927” collects belated, enthusiastic praise up through that of William Faulkner.
