Product Description
“One of the great strengths of this third edition is Hershel Parker’s inclusion of commentary on Moby-Dick from its publication in 1851 right into the 21st century to answer why Moby-Dick―boisterous, beautiful, filled with soaring language, forever questioning, and nearly 200 years old―is more popular than ever.” ―MARY K. BERCAW EDWARDS, University of Connecticut
