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.
