Melville Society Blogs
Our Website Revised and Updated
We are pleased to present a revised and updated website that now features Melville Society Blogs with contributions from the site edtior as well as from guest blogger, Robert Wallace, and the blog of the New Bedford Whaling Museum. Professor Wallace has generously shared his blog, which features richly illustrated essays and narratives related to the recent international conference in London and his several excursions to London art museums. The New Bedford Whaling Museum blog was included in the former version of our website, but not as an easy to read, full-column blog, but in a compressed, narrow module tucked away in the left sidebar.
