"This is a study of Herman Melville's life and thought. In interpreting Melville's life I have relied primarily on his own writings, including his letters, some of which are still unpublished, and his notebooks. There are occasional blank spaces in Melville's history, but the record is singularly complete in that part of Melville which most matters: his ideas, his feelings, his urges, his vision of life" (From author's preface).
