“In 1849, Melville went to London, to negotiate book contracts, and to buy books, including Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’—which ends with a mad, oceangoing pursuit. On his voyage back to New York, he got the idea for his own monster book. ‘The book is a romance of adventure, founded upon certain wild legends in the Southern Sperm Whale Fisheries,’ he announced.”

- Jill Lepore, Herman Melville at Home in The New Yorker 6/22/19
