""This is a bracing, heady, invaluable collection of essays that fulfils a crucial gap in Melville studies. It allows the reader to understand, as they should, that Melville is one of the foundational authors of the American Gothic. The wide-ranging approaches here reflect the profound vitality of the Gothic and Melville's hectic genius at once.""-- ""David Greven, Professor of English at the University of South Carolina and author of All the Devils Are Here: American Romanticism and Literary Influence"" ""Americanists have long needed a comprehensive study of Melville's Gothicism. In Gothic Melville, Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock and Monika Elbert have met that need, bringing together thirteen fresh, informed, illuminating essays on a wide range of the author's Gothic writings - from Moby-Dick to ""The Encantadas.'""-- ""Christopher Sten, Professor Emeritus of English and American Literature, George Washington University, author of The Weaver-God, He Weaves: Melville and the Poetics of the Novel; Sounding the Whale; and Melville's Other Lives: Bodies on Trial in The Piazza Tales""
