This unique introduction explores Herman Melville as he described himself in Billy Budd-'a writer whom few know.' Moving beyond the recurring depiction of Melville as the famous author of Moby-Dick, this book traces his development as a writer while providing the basic tools for successful critical reading of his novels.
