MobyDick (Norton Critical Editions),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
For this Sesquicentennial Norton Critical Edition, the NorthwesternNewberry text of MobyDick has been generously footnoted to include dozens of biographical discoveries, mainly from Hershel Parker's work on his twovolume biography of Melville. A section of 'Whaling and Whalecraft' features prose and graphics by John B. Putnam, a sample of contemporary whaling engravings, as well as, new to this edition, an engraving of Tupai Cupa, the reallife inspiration for the character of Queequeg.Evoking Melvilles fascination with the fluidity of categories like savagery and civilization, the image of Tupai Cupa fittingly introduces 'Before MobyDick: International Controversy over Melville,' a new section that documents the ferocity of religions, political, and sexual hostility toward Melville in reaction to his early books, beginning with Typee in 1846.The image of Tupai Cupa also evokes Melvilles interest in the mystery of selfidentity and the possibility of knowing another persons 'queenly personality' (Chapter 119). That theme (focused on Melville, Ishmael, and Ahab) is pursued in 'A Handful of Critical Challenges,' from Walter E. Bezansons classic centennial study through Harrison Hayfords meditation on 'Loomings' and recent essays by Camille Paglia and John Wenke.In 'Reviews and Letters by Melville,' a letter has been redated and a wealth of new biographical material has been added to the footnotes, notably to Melvilles '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 OlsenSmith. In 'Reviews of MobyDick' emphasizes the ongoing religious hostility toward Melville and highlights new discoveries, such as the firstknown Scottish review of The Whale. 'Posthumous Praise and the Melville Revival: 18931927' collects belated, enthusiastic praise up through that of William Faulkner. 'Biographical CrossLight' is Hershel Parkers somber look at what writing MobyDick cost Melville and his family.From Foreword through Selected Bibliography, this Sesquicentennial Norton Critical Edition is uniquely valuable as the most uptodate and comprehensive documentary source for study of MobyDick.
