The plot, which uses many conventions of Gothic fiction, develops the psychological, sexual, and family tensions between Pierre Glendinning; his widowed mother; Glendinning Stanley, his cousin; Lucy Tartan, his fiancee; and Isabel Banford, who is revealed to be his half-sister. According to scholar Henry A. Murray, in writing Pierre Melville "purposed to write his spiritual autobiography in the form of a novel" rather than to experiment with the novel and incidentally working some personal experiences into it. Coming after the lukewarm reaction to Moby-Dick, Pierre was a critical and financial disaster. Reviewers universally condemned both its morals and its style. Critics have more recently shown greater sympathy, seeing it as a "psychological novel -- a study of the moods, thought processes, and perceptions of his hero Details ISBN 1542634733 ISBN-13 9781542634731 Title Pierre, or The Ambiguities (1852) NOVEL by Herman Melville ( Book 1, and Book 2 ) Author Herman Melville Format Paperback Year 2017 Pages 254 Publisher Createspace Independent Publishing Platform GE_Item_ID:130590044; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
