Book excerpt: “Many of the selections have become standard studies and interpretations: Sherman Paul on “The Town-Ho’s Story,’ R. W. B. Lewis on Melville and Homer, Merton Sealts on Melville’s “I and My Chimney,’ to name only a few. The quality of the selections is very high indeed, as was true of earlier volumes in this series. . . . Highly recommended.”—Choice
