Melville wrote the novella during the 5 years before his death, and it was published posthumously in 1924. The essays collected here provide a multifaceted introduction to the work. Areas investigated include nineteenth-century political and social dynamics and the literary response they provoked, as well as the relevance of mythology and the histories of classical world and Judaeo-Christian civilization to Melville's book. Also examined are Melville's later writing, including the late poetry, the text's development, and its ambiguities. This collection will prove an invaluable resource for students of this major American writer.American novel.Sea stories, AmericanHistory and criticismExecutions and executioners in literatureImpressment in literatureSailors in literatureSea stories, AmericanHistory and criticism.Executions and executioners in literature.Impressment in literature.Sailors in literature.813/.3Yannella Donald1762294MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826498003321New essays on Billy Budd4202121UNINA
