Moby-Dick, mostly ignored upon its publication in 1851 and during the author's lifetime, underwent a dramatic reappraisal during the early 20th century, when it came to epitomize the Great American Novel-- in no small part due to the 1930 Lakeside Press edition that featured Rockwell Kent's starkly beautiful pen-and-ink illustrations that would help define the novel for a new generation of readers. An enigmatic tale of the sea, whaling, and obsession, Melville drew on themes from the Bible and Shakespeare to craft a uniquely American story that continues to fascinate and enthrall today.
