Question: 1 / 400

Who wrote the novel Moby-Dick?

Herman Melville

Herman Melville wrote the novel Moby-Dick. Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mark Twain, and Edgar Allan Poe are all notable American authors, but they did not write Moby-Dick. Hawthorne is known for his works like The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables, Twain for The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and Poe for The Raven and The Tell-Tale Heart. However, all of these authors wrote during the same time period as Melville and their works are often compared and studied together. Despite this, the epic tale of Captain Ahab and his pursuit of the white whale was penned solely by Herman Melville.
