About

Moby-Dick Synopsis

Part of the Norton Library series

The Norton Library edition of Moby-Dick features the text of the first U.S. edition. An introduction by Jeffrey Insko celebrates the novel as a love letter to language and explores the landscape of allegorical interpretations-from the impending doom of environmental crises to the shifting of sociocultural and intellectual sensibilities-that make the novel as timely today as it was in 1851.

The Norton Library is a growing collection of high-quality texts and translations-influential works of literature and philosophy-introduced and edited by leading scholars. Norton Library editions prepare readers for their first encounter with the works that they'll re-read over a lifetime.

  • Inviting introductions highlight the work's significance and influence, providing the historical and literary context students need to dive in with confidence.
  • Endnotes and an easy-to-read design deliver an uninterrupted reading experience, encouraging students to read the text first and refer to endnotes for more information as needed.
  • An affordable price (most $10 or less) encourages students to buy the book and to come to class with the assigned edition.

About the Editor: Jeffrey Insko is Professor of English at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, where he teaches courses in nineteenth-century American Literature and Culture and the Environmental Humanities. He is the author of History, Abolition, and the Ever-Present Now in Antebellum American Writing (2018).
