Zhang, Yuerui. Meilijian wen xue [ID D29501].
Zhang devoted a short paragraph to Herman Melville observing him as one of 'the modern important satirists in the New York Group to critique both human hypocrisy and the bloody colonial wars in the Western world'. Apart from his passing remarks on Typee, Omoo, Mardi, and White-acket, he notices 'the theme of incest in Pierre', a book that 'embodies Melville's deepest pessimism'. He concluded that 'Moby Dick was not even recognized as a great novel until the 1920s', displaying his sympathy for the ignored American. His introductory words ignited a wide interest in Melville.
