Lawrence Read Herman Melville","description":"\u003cb\u003eDetails Lawrence's reception of Melville and reveals his underacknowledged role in the Melville Revival, while contributing to the history of the book and the study of the creative process.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow Lawrence Read Melville\u003c\/i\u003e is a highly focused account of D. H. Lawrence's discovery and reception of Herman Melville, from when he first read \u003ci\u003eMoby-Dick\u003c\/i\u003e as a young man to his final references to Melville in his late works. It shows Lawrence's initial reaction to \u003ci\u003eMoby-Dick\u003c\/i\u003e; how it led him to other works by Melville, namely \u003ci\u003eTypee\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOmoo\u003c\/i\u003e; and how Melville affected Lawrence's critical and creative writing and shaped his philosophy.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a study of the creative process that shows how one great writer inspired another, but it also makes a major contribution to the history of the book and two of its subfields: the history of reading, and reception studies. By his death in 1891, Melville had been forgotten except by a small circle of English enthusiasts. That group put Lawrence onto Melville, whereupon he became a - until now largely unacknowledged - leader of the Melville Revival that rescued the great writer from obscurity. This Swiss army knife of a book will appeal to scholars and booklovers alike.","brand":"Kevin J.
