Abstract:
Studies of Herman Melville's epic poem Clarel (1876) have understandably emphasized the work's theological content. When studied in its immediate historical context, however, the poem's multiple references to Rome and Catholicism take on speci�c political meanings, particularly those centered in the Risorgimento, Italy's century-long quest for independence and unity. In 1870, when Melville began to write the poem, the Risorgimento achieved its �nal goal, making Rome Italy's capital and stripping the Pope of his temporal power. Melville, like many Americans, supported Italy's moderate, anti-pap

Abstract:
Abstract: Part 2 of Herman Melville's centenary epic, "The Wilderness," opens with a truncated sonnet of thirteen lines, a poem embedded within Melville's larger poetic project that signals the dominant theme of this second movement and the epic as a whole: incompletion. The sonnet calls attention to its own imperfection in the final line, describing human life, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales , and Clarel itself as "unfulfilled romance." Through death and desertion, Melville's wilderness culls the troop of pilgrims from a band of sixteen to a party of twelve. After three of the pilgrims flee, read

Abstract:
Over the years, critics have attached multiple equivalences to the title character in Herman Melville's "Bartleby, the Scrivener" (1853). Bartleby has become metaphor as readers have found a variety of matches for the condition of alienation and rejection implicit in his tragic story, a well-known example of which is interpreting Bartleby as an artist who refuses to produce the type of literature that is commercially successful in his society. The central contention of this study is that the scholarship written on "Bartleby" to date has not identified the vehicle for the tenor we uncover in Ba

Abstract:
This essay is the first to examine Melville’s “The Town-Ho’s Story” (Chapter 54 of Moby-Dick [1851]) in relation to W. B. Stevenson’s then-popular-but-now-forgotten British travel narrative, Twenty Years’ Residence in South America (1825). Drawing from suggestive circumstances and parallel action unfolding in each, I make a case for the English sailor’s encounter with the Spanish Inquisition in Lima as important source material for the Limanian setting that frames Melville’s tale. In bringing to light a new source for Moby-Dick, I argue that Melville refracts Stevenson’s actual encounter with

Abstract:
This dissertation argues that Herman Melville’s Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land (1876) is a universalist poem which analyzes the necessity, political potentiality, and challenges of intersubjectivity to the creation of more democratic human relationships beyond the walls of individualism and of traditional communities such as those organized around the notions of nation-state, ‘race’, culture, religious affiliation, or sexual identities. My argument is that, in Clarel, Melville conceives what I have termed ‘intersubjective universalism’ as an ethicopolitical process subjected to

Male intimacy is intense friendship, the desire for which partakes of spiritual and psychological aspects of homosexual desires but differs from them in that it is not sexual. As an indicative instance, the relationship between Ishmael and Queequeg is more appropriately called “male intimacy” than “the homosexual.” This paper argues that Clarel’s yearning for Celio and Vine is purely spiritual and that the Lyonese is not an object of desire for C

Abstract:
This dissertation is based on the observation that Herman Melville's "Bartleby, the Scrivener" has become a popular reference in contemporary culture. Not only in the field of literary scholarship but also in the realm of art, political theory and philosophy, it is employed as an example of authentic resistance to power, a counter-intuitive politics that finds its strength in withdrawal, inaction, and inscrutability. The thesis examines the reasons and motives that drive literary scholars, artists and philosophers to read, interpret and use the story in such a way. It does so by analyzing the

It intersperses brief excursions on Clarel and “The Apple-Tree Table” to show that Melville deemed the spiritual crisis of his day an inescapable conflict, but one that could be weathered while holding on to at least some kind of spiritual belief. Wisdom represented for Melville the best strategic guide to surviving this crisis, and the wisdom books, this chapter contends, helped Melville engage the Bible cons

Abstract:
Abstract As “Benito Cereno” and Clarel suggest, Melville remained interested in dismemberment as an image of the body politic after Moby-Dick. Having lost an arm and leg fighting for Mexican independence, Clarel’s Don Hannibal laments the New World’s democratic progress, but he has none of Ahab’s aggrievement, nor the will to power that it creates. The chapter argues that scholars should reject Cold War readings of Ahab, not to de-emphasize his authoritarianism but to view him as an explicitly American threat. At the same time, it rejects the Cold War tendency to present Ishmael as a quintesse

Abstract Moby-Dick reveals significant tensions between Ishmael’s sympathetic portrait of whales and his dehumanization of Muslim peoples in Maritime Southeast Asia. Using a critique of democratic capitalism that Melville offers in Clarel, the chapter examines the portrait of environmental violence in Moby-Dick. In an obvious parallel to Ahab, “The Pequod Meets the Virgin” describes the cruelty inflicted on old bull whale that is missing one of its fins. The scene reveals Flask to be a maliciously exploitative capitalist. When the Pequod accidentally kill a series of whales in “The Grand Armad
