Overview

Tracing Melville's spiritual torment and growth over the course of his lifetime, Walter Donald Kring provides a fresh look at this great writer and shows how his work was influenced by his mid-life rejection and later acceptance of religion. Citing examples from famous and lesser-known works, Kring deftly draws comparisons between Melville's changing views and those expressed by his characters.
