Overview
What you will study
Moby Dick, Herman Melville’s 1851 masterpiece, is undoubtedly one of the greatest American novels. But what kind of book is it? It is, in one light, a revenge tragedy: the thrilling tale of the exploits of the monomaniacal Captain Ahab and his quest to kill the white whale that chewed off his leg. But the book is much more than this: it is, as Bob Dylan puts it, a novel in which ‘everything is mixed in’. This Moby Dick an introduction to a great American novel course offered by University of Cambridge will explore this novel.
