      abstract = {Publisher's description: Although he spent much of his  career in obscurity, Herman Melville has since become known  as one of America's greatest novelists, short story  writers, and poets. The author of Moby-Dick, Billy Budd,  Typee, White-Jacket, "Bartleby the Scrivener," and many  other classic works, Melville was rediscovered in the 1920s  by a new generation of writers who saw in his work an  evolving sense of modernism. His work is now an integral  part of the high school and college curriculum, and writers  as diverse as Jack London, William Faulkner, Robert Penn  Warren, and Norman Mailer have paid homage to Melville's  poetry and prose. Herman Melville A to Z is the most  comprehensive guide to his life and work. Entries examine  the characters and settings of his novels and short  stories, the critics and scholars who commented on his  work, and Melville's friends and associates, including such  prominent literary figures as Oliver Wendell Holmes and  Nathaniel Hawthorne.},
