With a historian's perspective and a critic's insight, award-winning author Andrew Delbanco marvelously demonstrates that\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eMelville was very much a man of his era and that he recorded -- in his books, letters, and marginalia; and in conversations with friends like Nathaniel Hawthorne and with his literary cronies in Manhattan -- an incomparable chapter of American history. From the bawdy storytelling of \u003ci\u003eTypee\u003c\/i\u003e to the spiritual preoccupations building up to and beyond\u003ci\u003e Moby Dick\u003c\/i\u003e, Delbanco brilliantly illuminates Melville's life and work, and his crucial role as a man of American letters.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage Books - Random House","offers":[{"title":"Melville: His World and Work | Andrew Delbanco | Paperback | 9780375702976 | Used: Good | Back Stacks F 1744064","offer_id":48199806320792,"sku":"1744064","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/613VsyCq_dL.jpg?v=1772564469","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/melville-his-world-and-work","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
