<p><b>Discover a fascinating new set of perspectives on the life and work of Herman Melville</b></p> <p><i>A New Companion to Herman Melville </i>delivers an insightful examination of Melville for the twenty-first century. Building on the success of the first Blackwell <i>Companion to Herman Melville</i>, and offering a variety of tools for reading, writing, and teaching Melville and other authors, this <i>New Companion</i> offers critical, technological, and aesthetic practices that can be employed to read Melville in exciting and revelatory ways.</p> <p>Editors Wyn Kelley and Christopher Ohge create a framework that reflects a pluralistic model for humanities teaching and research.
