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. 410 0$aAmerican Novel. 606 $aSea stories, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aExecutions and executioners in literature 606 $aImpressment in literature 606 $aSailors in literature 615 0$aSea stories, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aExecutions and executioners in literature. 615 0$aImpressment in literature. 615 0$aSailors in literature. 676 $a813/.3 702 $aYannella$b Donald 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826498003321 996 $aNew essays on Billy Budd$94073529 997 $aUNINA
