In the novel Redburn, Melville sharply contrasts the refined sensibilities of the title character, an upper-class American youth, with the coarse manners of his Liverpudlian shipmates. The novel is notable for its finely drawn characters and piercing social criticism.SailorsFictionYoung menFictionSeafaring lifeFictionMerchant marinersFictionAmericansEnglandFictionLiverpool (England)FictionSailorsYoung menSeafaring lifeMerchant marinersAmericans813.3Melville Herman1819-1891.132353MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823562703321Redburn178993UNINA
