Description

This book sheds new light on Melville's classic novel ""Typee"" through a close and revealing look at his revision process. ""Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life"" was published in 1846 and was Melville's most popular work, offering Victorian readers startling and romantic glimpses of island people and practices. ""The Typee"" manuscript was discovered only in 1983, and is considered one of the most important literary manuscripts in nineteenth-century American studies. ""Melville Unfolding"" offers a new approach to literary analysis, focusing on how the ""invisible text of revision"" is made visible in the critical construction of the novel. This volume is linked to an electronic edition of ""Typee"", providing a model for how critical analysis and textual editing work synergistically and how print and online technologies can complement one another. ""Melville Unfolding"" walks readers through the intriguing twists and turns of Melville's writing process, detailing the delights and frustrations of reading a writer in manuscript. In jargon-free prose, John Bryant introduces the scholarship of manuscript study, the use of the revision narrative, and the benefits of the fluid-text analysis - asking readers to consider what a text is, how it comes into being, how it evolves, and how the study of a fluid text enhances our understanding of writers, writing, and culture.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
