Born in New York City, Melville enjoyed some years as a successful writer following the publication of his first book Typee in 1896. He produced a number of travelogues and nautical works, inspired by his earlier experience as a sailor. During his later years, however, his work fell out of favour and he became largely forgotten until the 1910s and 20s saw a revival of his work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJudith John \u003c\/b\u003e(glossary) is a writer and editor specializing in literature and history.
