Abstract
This year’s publications offer an eclectic range of scholarship on Herman Melville, including new work on sexuality and a new biography. The smaller number of articles and books published this year compared to 2019 has to be mentioned too; the current volume of Leviathan: A Journal of Melville Studies, for example, is some hundred pages shorter than its predecessor. Perhaps COVID-19 stymied the publication process. Certainly research agendas were upended and supply-chain disruptions made the printing of books more difficult and more costly. This survey begins with work that may be of special interest to teachers as well as researchers, then moves to essays and book chapters before concluding with the year’s two book publications on Melville and his world.
