Offers the first full-length analysis of the presence and implications of alcohol and intoxication in Herman Melville's novels, short fiction, and poetry. Throughout his works he urges his readers for a variety of reasons to avoid alcohol. Liquor and intoxication, he consistently illustrates, brings various yet consistently-harsh outcomes.
