Recenzje

It is a rich book filled with astute meditations on the connections between biblical wisdom and Melville's canon that will add a new level of depth and meaning to Melville and 19th century literature. This book would be a welcome addition to a culturally focused 19th century American humanities course and should be embraced in the historiography by Melville scholars.
