Reading Melville’s Pierre; Or, the Ambiguities by Brian Higgins, Hershel Parker
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.8MB
Overview: Herman Melville’s Pierre; or. The Ambiguities has a storied place in the history of American publishing. Melville began writing this follow-up to Moby-Dick in October 1851, thinking that it might prove even more significant than its predecessor. The 1852 publication of Pierre was catastrophic, however. Melville lost his English publisher, and American reviewers derided the book and called the author mad. In Reading Melville’s “Pierre; or, The Ambiguities,” noted Melville authorities Brian Higgins and Hershel Parker probe the daunting story behind a deeply flawed but revealing work, one that directly reflects the major crisis of Melville’s authorial life.
