Hershel Parker is the author of the 1997 Pulitzer finalist, Herman Melville: A Biography, 1819-1851 (Johns Hopkins, 1996) and Herman Melville: A Biography, 1851-1891 (Johns Hopkins, 2002). Each volume won the top award from the Association of American Publishers. Parker’s 1984 Flawed Texts and Verbal Icons: Literary Authority in American Fiction brought biographical evidence to bear on textual theory, literary criticism, and literary theory. In 2017 Parker and the team of now mature Hayford students finished the final volume of the 15-volume Northwestern-Newberry Edition of THE WRITINGS OF HERMAN MELVILLE. Robert Sandberg is helping with the layout and design of print volumes of The New Melville Log. Parker in late 2017 is at work on Ornery People: What Was a Depression Okie?, a book about his white and red American ancestors. Parker's Melville Biography: An Inside Narrative was put on the NEW YORKER blog as one of the Books to Watch Out for in January ("Parker writes with a rare combination of humor and passion"). On 30-31 March 2013 the WALL STREET JOURNAL gave a page and a third to Carl Rollyson's review of MELVILLE BIOGRAPHY as "a superb contribution to a fledgling field: the study of the writing of literary lives." In 2017 Parker published the 3rd Norton Critical Edition of MOBY-DICK. For several years he has been writing occasionally for the webzine THE JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

PS see my longer message about your mother's birthplace in the comments on the right side of your profile.
Were you able to get your mother's birthplace fixed? If not, click the edit tab on her page, then type in what you want it to say with as much information as you have. Ignore what the place suggestions say and click out of the field without selecting anything from the drop down. Click save changes. That should do it but let me know if if gives you any trouble.
By the way, because of the way the messaging service works at WikiTree, we don't get notified about comments you put on your own profile. A greeter might notice it when we leave messages for the first couple of weeks but there's no guarantee. That's why it's recommended to post to the public comments on the other person's profile.
You are now confirmed as a full member! Please start with our New Member How-To pages. They will save you time, energy and frustration as you add your family profiles. We are so happy to have you here in the WikiTree community!
Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile as the links will work from there. Please ask if you have any questions as I am always happy to help!
See you in the branches, Cindy ~ WikiTree Greeter
