Summary
The grandson of Revolutionary War heroes, Herman Melville was born into a family that in the fledgling republic had lost both money and status. This book traces Melville's growth from the bawdy storytelling of 'Typee' through the spiritual preoccupations building up to 'Moby Dick', and the profound disillusionment of later works.
