With an Introduction by Lionel Kelly, University of Reading.
The Sea-Wolf belongs in the honorific tradition of American sea fiction where the voyage motif became a means of exploring the meaning of life, as in Richard Henry Danas Two Years Before the Mast (1840), Edgar Allan Poes The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym (1838), and Herman Melvilles Moby Dick (1851).
