Moby-Dick: Classics Illustrated (Norton Critical Editions #0)

Synopsis

“One of the great strengths of this third edition is Hershel Parker’s inclusion of commentary on Moby-Dick from its publication in 1851 right into the 21st century to answer why Moby-Dick—boisterous, beautiful, filled with soaring language, forever questioning, and nearly 200 years old—is more popular than ever.” —MARY K. BERCAW EDWARDS, University of Connecticut This Norton Critical Edition includes: • Melville’s classic novel of whaling and revenge, based on Hershel Parker’s revision of the 1967 text edited by Harrison Hayford and Hershel Parker. • Twenty-six illustrations, including maps, contemporary engravings, and diagrams of whaleboat rigging. • Background and source materials centering on whaling and whalecraft, Melville’s international reception, the inspirations for Moby-Dick, and Melville’s related correspondence. • Forty-four reviews and interpretations of the novel spanning three centuries. • A revised and updated Selected Bibliography.
