Moby-Dick: or, The Whale (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

in A Sense, This Work Is The Piece De Resistance Of The Textual Revolution In American Scholarship Of The Past Generation. The First Half Is The Final Mla ``approved Text'' Of The Classic Novel, Prepared Under The Auspices Of The Center For Editions Of American Authors. The Second Half Consists Of An Historical Note Detailing Background, Genetic Composition, Publication, And Ensuing Critical Reception; A Discussion Of Its Textual History; And Some Relevant Marginalia. The Work Is Not Only Thorough And Rigorous, But, Considering The Scholarly Grittiness Of The Endeavor, Surprisingly Lucid And Graceful In Its Exposition. Highly Recommended For Special Collections.
