THE NP CHRONICLE : 1ST AUGUST

The NP Chronicle
1st August 
Herman Melville (August 1, 1819 – September 28, 1891) was an American writer of the American Renaissance period. Among his best-known works are Moby-Dick (1851), Typee (1846), a romanticized account of his experiences in Polynesia, and Billy Budd, Sailor, a posthumously published novella. At the time of his death, Melville was not well known to the public, but 1919, the centennial of his birth, was the starting point of a Melville revival. Moby-Dick would eventually be considered one of the Great American Novels.

"It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation."
-- Herman Melville
