by Ilana Pardes (Author)
Traces Herman Melville's response to an array of nineteenth-century writings that includes literary scriptures, biblical scholarship, Holy Land travel narratives, political sermons, and women's bibles. This book shows how Melville raised with verve the question of what counts as Bible and what counts as interpretation.
