Melville's Intervisionary Network
The romances of Herman Melville, author of Moby-Dick and Billy Budd, Sailor, are usually examined from some setting almost exclusively American.

The Rise and Fall of the Victorian Three-Volume Novel
Utilizing recent developments in book history and digital humanities, this book offers a cultural, economic, and literary history of the Victorian three-volume novel, the prestige format for the British novel during much of the nineteenth century.

Following a quantitative analysis examining who wrote and published these novels, the book investigates the success of publisher Richard Bentley in producing three-volume novels, the experiences of the W.

Rather than faltering, the three-volume novel stubbornly endured until its abandonment in the 1890s.
