Synopsis

Presented here as a paired reading, “Bartleby” (also known as “Bartleby the Scrivener”) is described as a haunting moral allegory set against the business life of 19th-century New York. “Benito Cereno” shifts to a Spanish ship, offering a harrowing account of slavery and revolt, and is regarded by many as Melville’s finest short story.

This edition suits readers looking to explore Melville’s shorter fiction in an accessible, compact format.
