Críticas:

." . . an important work of scholarship because it provides the best text currently available for the his carefully studied novel. Hayford and Parker have been the first editors to realize that Melville must have read and corrected the American proofsheets from which the English edition was printed and that a considerable number of English readings have hitherto unrecognized authority for inclusion in a critical text." --Nineteenth-Century Fiction

Reseña del editor:

This edition of ""Moby-Dick"", released in honour of the book's 150th anniversary, is the authoritative text of one of the world's great adventure stories. A crew of whalers set out in pursuit of a fierce white whale. Their names ring through the canon of American literature: Ishmael, the narrator; Queenqueg, a South Seas harpooner; Starbuck, the sober and serious chief mate; and above all Captain Ahab, part Faust and part Job, leading them to the ends of the earth - and the destiny he will share with his foe. In ""Moby-Dick"", Melville set out to write ""a mighty book"" on a ""mighty theme"". This text of ""Moby-Dick"" is an Approved Text of the Center for Scholarly Editions (Modern Language Association of America).
