Book Description: Herman Melville (1819 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, and poet. His first two books gained much attention, though they were not bestsellers, and his popularity declined precipitously only a few years later. By the time of his death he had been almost completely forgotten, but his longest novel, Moby Dick; or, The Whale (1851) largely considered a failure during his lifetime, and most responsible for Melville s fall from favour with the reading public was rediscovered in the 20th century as one of the chief literary masterpieces of both American and world literature. Melville is less well known as a poet and did not publish poetry until late in life. Other works include Typee (1846), Omoo (1847), Mardi and a Voyage Thither (2v/1849), Redburn: His First Voyage (1849), White Jacket (1850), Pierre (1852), Israel Potter: Fifty Years of Exile (1855), The Piazza Tales (1856), Benito Cereno (1856), Battle Pieces and Aspects of the War (1866), Timoleon (1891), The Apple Tree Table (1922), John Marr and Other Poems (1922), The Confidence Man: His Masquerade (1923), Billy Budd: Sailor (1924), and Journal up the Straits (1935).
