Although he spent much of his career in obscurity, Herman Melville, the author of classics such as ""Moby-Dick"", ""Billy Budd"", and ""Bartleby, the Scrivener,"" has since become known as one of America's greatest writers. This volume from the new ""Bloom's Classic Critical Views"" series features essays from the 19th and early 20th centuries that trace the resurgence of Melville's literary influence.
