Leviathan: A Journal of Melville Studies

Leviathan appears three times a year in March, June, and October. We welcome articles, notes, reviews, and creative writing on, or inspired by, the life, works, and influence of novelist and poet Herman Melville (1819-1891). The journal is open to all scholarly, critical, and pedagogical approaches. Featured in each issue (beginning in 2006 with Volume 8) is Extracts, a department devoted to Melville Society news, programs, Cultural Project activities, and other Melville-related information.

First appearing in 1999, Leviathan was created by John Bryant, who served as Editor until 2014 and continues to serve on the Advisory Board. The journal currently is edited by Samuel Otter with the assistance of Associate Editor Brian Yothers, Book Review Editor Dawn Coleman, and Extracts Editor Mary K. Bercaw Edwards.

Leviathan is published by the Johns Hopkins University Press, with generous support from Hofstra University, and it appears online through Project Muse. Members of the Melville Society receive the journal in hard copy as part of their $30 annual dues, paid to the society through Johns Hopkins University Press.
