The Life and Times of Melville Herman Melville
The full Shakespeare fueled energetic mania of writing the book that he knew was great. He followed it up with this letter to nithaniel hawthorne june 1851 my dear hawthorne i should have been rumbling down to you and my pine board chariot a long time ago. We don't have a lot of letters and papers for Melville he was an ardent burner of correspondence but this one survived. It gives us Herman Melville his mind and voice as he's excitedly talking to his friend.
