Philadelphia, PA - American Voyager: Herman Melville at 200, to mark what would be Herman Melville’s 200th birthday, a Rosenbach exhibition presents first editions and rare manuscripts through the lenses of LGBTQ environmental conservation and other contemporary issues to piece together the life of a once-unsung writer whose posthumously beloved Moby-Dick transformed an under-read American novelist into a literary icon.
