Melville & women
Elizabeth A. Schultz (Editor), Haskell S. Springer (Editor)
Treating Melville's poetry and prose and using a variety of theoretical approaches from the biographical to the ecocritical, these essays focus not only on Melville's female characters but also on gender roles, colonialism, intertextuality, legal issues, and concepts of the female and feminine.
