From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Herman Melville is a biography of the American author Herman Melville by Lewis Mumford, first published in 1929.

The book played a role in the Melville revival of the 1920s, helping to affirm the author's reputation and to indicate connections between his work and later literature. The book was later republished under the title Herman Melville: A Study of His Life and Vision.
