Herman Melville
The writing career of Herman Melville peaked early, with novels, such as "Typee”, "Omoo”, "Redburn” becoming best sellers. By the mid-1850s his poularity declined sharply, and by the time he died he had been largely forgotten. Yet in time his novel Moby Dick came to be regarded as one of the finest works of American, and indeed world, literature, as was Billy Budd, which was not published until long after his death, in 1924.
