Focusing on the psychodynamic role of shame, this study provides an in-depth analysis of Melville's major works, including Moby-Dick, Pierre, and "Billy Budd." By employing theories from notable psychoanalysts like Heinz Kohut and Silvan Tomkins, it critiques the prevalent abstract poststructuralist approaches to psychoanalysis. The book offers a coherent interpretation of Melville's literature, appealing to scholars of his work as well as those interested in psychological perspectives in literary analysis.
