Ironically, Melville has been subject to the same treatment by critics who have in large measure steered clear of Melville's darkness. The contributors to \u003ci\u003eGothic Melville\u003c\/i\u003e reveal that, if Hawthorne's darkness is ten times black, then Melville's is a hundred times so, as his works repeatedly raise questions about what the truth is or if truth exists at all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This edited collection of scholarly essays makes up for the critical neglect of Melville's Gothicism by arguing that the Gothic is so extensively interwoven into the fabric of his writing that Melville must at last be recognized as among the genre's most important practitioners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1837721475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781837721474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wales Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46602995269887,"sku":"9781837721474","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_45c41b1b-07e7-45b2-a549-bf7ed1f91629.jpg?v=1739695892","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gothic-melville-jeffrey-andrew-weinstock-9781837721474","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
