In the 1840s and 1850s, as the market revolution swept the United States, the world of literature confronted for the first time the gaudy glare of commercial culture. This title presents a comparison of how two superstar authors - Herman Melville in the 19th century and Stephen King - have negotiated the shifty terrain of the literary marketplace.
