Review
Melville's Sea Dictionary is a useful contribution to Melville scholarship. Gidmark's subject is a `sea vocabulary,' 345 nautical terms selected from Typee, Omoo, Redburn, White-Jacket, and Moby Dick; her object is the construction of a linguistic research tool with which to examine the art of Herman Melville at close quarters. . . . The Melville Sea Dictionary . . . should be in every academic library that supports graduate studies in American literature.Choice
