Edgar Dryden is Professor of English at the University of Arizona and editor of Arizona Quarterly
"Dryden's book is a challenge that will shape the future course of thinking on Melville. His meticulous, learned, and compelling explication of Melville's writing makes a formidable case for the importance of close reading, teaching us what Melville really requires from a reader; this book should therefore be a prerequisite to the sorts of historicist analysis that currently dominate the study of Melville's work." - Mitchell Breitwieser,University of California, Berkeley
