While further demonstrating Melville's global reach, the second edition focuses on a Fluid Melville, engaging with new topics, technologies, and approaches that have altered the way we read Melville into the future. Readership of Melville's works has grown since the first edition. Samuel Otter, erstwhile editor of Leviathan, states that, "when I served on the editorial board of American Literature, I was told that they received more submissions on Melville than on any other author" (1). Since the bicentennial celebrations of Melville's birth in 2019, there has been an outpouring of international conferences (New York, Paris, Lisbon, to name a few), as well as of new or forthcoming papers, articles, and books, with titles on Melville and religion, philosophy, science, poetry, technology, and biography. Exciting developments at the Melville Electronic Library (MEL) and Melville's Marginalia Online (MMO) place digital editing and archives at the cutting edge of critical approaches to Melville. Melville continues to be featured on university and high-school reading lists, and the Teachers' Summer Institute on " Moby-Dick and the World of Whaling in the Digital Age," first offered in 2018 at the New Bedford Whaling Museum in New Bedford, MA, received new funding in 2021 from the National Endowment for the Humanities"-- Provided by publisher.Blackwell companions to literature and culture.American literatureAmerican literature.810.8Kelley WynOhge ChristopherMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910830768703321A new companion to Herman Melville4021103UNINA
