Melville's Folk Roots
Author: Kevin J. Hayes
Publisher: Kent State University Press
ISBN: 9780873386258
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Herman Melville's reputation as a great writer has gradually evolved throughout the 20th century. Tempered by studies that emphasize the Western literary tradition, literary appreciation for Melville's use of folklore has been slow in developing. This study focuses on Melville's immersion with and borrowing from oral traditions: both music and narrative; tall-tale humour; nautical folklore; superstition; and legend. The book also acts as a general introduction to Melville's work.
