About this title: A surprisingly domestic novel, PIERRE is about a nuclear family and its claustrophobic emotional dependencies. Dealing with immensely controversial issues such as incest and moral relativism, PIERRE was savaged by critics upon its publication in 1852. This new edition is a return to an early version, cutting the portions that Melville added after the novel was finished, in which Pierre, rather suddenly revealed to be a writer, must cope with the worlds of publishing and promotion.
