Wordsworth Editions Ltd. New. Melville's short stories are masterpieces. The best are to be appreciated on more than one level and those presented here are rich with symbolism and spiritual depth. Set in 1797 Billy Budd Foretopman exploits the tension of this period during the war between England and France to create a tale of satanic treachery tragedy and great pathos that explores human relationships and the inherently ambiguous nature of man-made justice. Tales such as Bartleby Benito Cereno The Lightning Rod Man The Tartarus of Maids or I and My Chimney show the timeless poetic power of Melville's writing as he consciously uses the disguise of allegory in various ways and to various ends. . 1999.

Wordsworth Editions Ltd. New. With an Introduction and Notes by David Herd. Lecturer in English and American Literature at the University of Kent at Canterbury Moby-Dick is the story of Captain Ahab's quest to avenge the whale that 'reaped' his leg. The quest is an obsession and the novel is a diabolical study of how a man becomes a fanatic. But it is also a hymn to democracy. Bent as the crew is on Ahab s appalling crusade it is equally the image of a co-operative community at work: all hands dependent on all hands each individual responsible for the security of each. Among the crew is Ishmael the novel's narrator ordinary sailor and extraordinary reader. Digressive allusive vulgar transcendent the story Ishmael tells is above all an education: in the practice of whaling in the art of writing. . 1999. HARDCOVER. Wordsworth Editions Ltd hardcover
