Question: 1 / 400

What Herman Melville novel is considered one of the greatest American novels ever written?

Moby Dick

Herman Melville's novel, Moby Dick, is considered one of the greatest American novels ever written because of its complex themes and literary techniques that still resonate with readers today. The other options, while also well-known works of literature, do not have the same lasting impact and cultural significance as Moby Dick. Billy Budd is a posthumously published novel that was unfinished at the time of Melville's death. The Long Voyage Home and The Scarlet Letter are both by different authors and do not share the same depth and breadth of exploration of human nature and morality as Moby Dick does.
