"This is a Swiss army knife of a book: it has many different uses. It is a highly focused account of Lawrence's discovery and reception of Melville, from when he first read Moby-Dick as a young man to his final references to Melville in his late works. It shows Lawrence first reaction to Moby-Dick; how it led him to other works by Melville, namely Typee and Omoo; and how Melville affected Lawrence's critical and creative writing and shaped his philosophy. The book is also a major contribution to Melville studies. By his death in 1891, outside of a small circle of English enthusiasts, Melville had been forgotten. That group put Lawrence onto Melville, whereupon he became a - until now largely unacknowledged - leader of the Melville Revival that rescued the great writer from obscurity. How Lawrence Read Melville also contributes to the history of the book and two of its subfields: the history of reading, and reception studies. And it is a study of the creative process, showing how one great writer inspired another"--
