Handsomely Done: Aesthetics, Politics, and Media after Melville is a multidisciplinary examination of Melville’s works. The book explores how the works of this most linguistically complex author have yielded compelling translations and adaptations as well as the how Melville’s writing tends to become reinvigorated at every new historical-political conjuncture.
