Melville's City: Literary and Urban Form in Nineteenth-Century New York - Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture
Kelley, Wyn (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Melville's City argues that Melville's relationship to the city was considerably more complex than has generally been believed. By placing him in the historical and cultural context of nineteenth-century New York, Kelley presents a Melville who borrowed from the colourful cultural variety of the city while at the same time investigating its darker and more dangerous social aspects.
