This definitive, annotated edition offers an authoritative text of Herman Melville's classic short novel, accompanied by a generous selection of documents designed to give students a sense of the rich historical and cultural context of nineteenth-century America. The documents are thematically organised into categories including Sources/Pretexts, Melville on Race/Violence, Catholicism, Empire and the Union, Scientific Racism, and The Literature of Slave Rebellions in the 1850s. Materials include selections from Amasa Delano, William Cullen Bryant, Frederick Douglass, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Supreme Court arguments, a previously unpublished blackface skit, and Putnam's Magazine.
