Home Page Source: The Melville Society Melville - A Brief Assessment For twenty years before his death in 1891, Herman Melville was a forgotten man. This is best reflected in a couple obituary notices: "He won considerable fame as an author by the publication of a book in 1847 (actually 1846) entitled Typee . ... This was his best work, although he has since written a number of other stories, which were published more for private than public circulation. ... During the ten years subsequent to the publication of this book he was employed at the NY Custom House." - NY Daily Tribune , September 29, 1891 "Of late years Mr. Melville - probably because he had ceased his literary activity - has fallen into a literary decline, as a result of which his books are little known. Probably, if the truth were known, even his own generation has long thought him dead, so quiet have been the later years of his life." -

Herman Melville Bartleby Bartleby the Scrivener A Story of Wall Street Benito Cereno Billy Budd ... Typee Introduction "A whale ship was my Yale College and my Harvard" ( Moby Dick Herman Melville was born into a large, well-respected, literary family in New York in 1819. He contacted scarlet fever as a child - a condition which was to leave him with permanently weakened eyes and a fear of disease. Melville's family fell on hard times when their import business collapsed in 1830. The shock was too much for Allan Melville, Herman's father, who died two years later. The family was by this time much impoverished and Herman took a succession of menial and teaching jobs in an effort to support his large family. It was during this period that Melville first fell in love with the sea, after joining the Merchant Ship St. Lawrence on a journey to Liverpool. Having exhausted all other possible means of employment, Melville set out on a whaler, the Acushnet, in January 1841. The whaler voyaged to Polynesia, a land of mystery and romance which Melville was later to describe in Typee . Melville lived with the cannibalistic Typee people before joining another whaler, the Lucy Ann. When this voyage proved unsuccessful, he joined a mutiny and spent some time in a Polynesian jail. He described this period in his second novel

His father, Allan Melville, an importer of French dry goods, became bankrupt and insane, and died when Melville was twelve. His mother, Maria Gansevoort Melville, was left alone to raise her eight children. Occasionally she received help from her wealthy relatives. A bout of scarlet fever in 1826 left Herman with permanently weakened eyesight. He attended Albany (N.Y.) Classical School in 1835. He left the school and was largely autodidact, devouring Shakespeare as well as historical, anthropological, and technical works. From the age of twelve, he worked as a clerk, teacher, and farmhand. In search of adventures, he shipped out in 1839 as a cabin boy on the whaler Achushnet . He joined later the US Navy, and started his years- long voyages on ships, sailing both the Atlantic and the South Seas. During these years he was a clerk and bookkeeper in general store in Honolulu and lived briefly among the Typee cannibals in the Marquesas Islands. Another ship rescued him and took him to Tahiti. In his mid-twenties, Melville returned to his mother's house to write about his adventures.

31. Herman Melville's Billy Budd an interactive edition of herman melville s Billy Budd. http://xroads.virginia.edu/~hyper/bb/bb_main.html

Editor's Preface This website is dedicated to helping students of literature at all levels better understand Herman Melville's complex short novel, Billy Budd . Decidedly, these pages are not designed as an on-line "Cliff's Notes" edition of the work. Nowhere will you find synopses which "explain" the story or reveal some "hidden meaning." Nothing in this site will provide definitive answers to the difficult questions which this text raises, nor will it provide a template for the student seeking a quick and easy solution to the various problems it poses. Rather, this site should serve merely to enrich one's reading of Billy Budd by providing readily more information than otherwise might be accessible to most students. The designer of this site has brought together resources which might help clarify Melville's dense vocabulary, provide a framework for some of the lines of allusion, help the student better visualize the naval scenes, and generally provide some structure for the student so that his reading is as full as possible. One should note, however, that everything included here presupposes that reading and understanding Billy Budd can ultimately only be the product of hard work and attention to detail.

Herman Melville (1819-1891) Contributing Editor: Carolyn L. Karcher Classroom Issues and Strategies The primary problems I have encountered in teaching Melville are the difficulty of the language and the complexity of the narrative point of view. This is particularly true of "Benito Cereno," but Billy Budd and "The Paradise of Bachelors and the Tartarus of Maids" also present problems for students unaccustomed to allusive and circuitous language and a complex narrative stance. Students usually find "Bartleby" and "The Encantadas" much more accessible. "Hawthorne and His Mosses" is daunting to students because of its allusiveness. It also needs to be set in the context of debate over how nineteenth-century American writers should go about producing an authentic national literature. Each of the Melville selections demands a somewhat different strategy. What works best for me is not to teach Melville's writings together in a separate unit, but to group individual Melville pieces with texts by other authors on similar themes. For example, "Hawthorne and His Mosses" would make most sense to students in a unit on debates over literary nationalism and aesthetic theory, which could include Emerson's "The American Scholar,"

COLLECTING HERMAN MELVILLE by William S. Reese (From The Gazette of the Grolier Club Nineteen-ninety-one marked the 100th anniversary of the death of Herman Melville. Numerous observances were held to commemorate the work of that remarkable American writer, so widely forgotten a century ago and so widely celebrated today. The centenary was another step in the evolving attitude toward the man and his work. The re-evaluation of Melville's literary career began even before his death, and has grown in ever-widening circles ever since. Today it is a healthy small industry, especially in the academic arena, where biographers, critics and interpreters, as well as biographers of critics and critics of biographers, assiduously work away. In this whole imposing edifice of Melville studies, booksellers and book collectors have played a role, sometimes aiding scholarship and sometimes paralleling it. And, at the same time, intentionally or not, they have shaped some part of the way Melville is read today. I came to be a collector of Melville, and hence a participant in the modern Melville world, purely as an amateur. Hearing Robert Penn Warren read from

American Literature home authors books ... store addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; addthis_pub = 'kavustock'; Library Herman Melville Moby Dick; or, The Whale Moby-Dick, written in 1851, recounts the adventures of the narrator Ishmael as he sails on the whaling ship Pequod under the command of Captain Ahab. Ishmael believes he has signed onto a routine commission aboard a normal whaling vessel, but he soon learns that Captain Ahab is not guiding the Pequod in the simple pursuit of commerce but is seeking one specific whale, Moby-Dick, a great while whale infamous for his giant proportions and his ability to destroy the whalers that seek him. Captain Ahab's wooden leg is the result of his first encounter with the whale, when he lost both leg and ship. But Captain Ahab is bent on revenge and he intends to get Moby-Dick. Ahab demonstrates erratic behavior from the very beginning and his eccentricities magnify as the voyage progresses. As the novel draws to a conclusion, the Pequod encounters the whaling ship Rachel. The Rachel's captain asks Ahab to help him in a search and rescue effort for his whaling-crew that went missing the day before - and the captain's son is among the missing. But when Ahab learns that the crew disappeared while tangling with Moby-Dick he refuses the call to aid in the rescue so that he may hunt Moby-Dick instead. The encounter with Moby-Dick brings a tragic end to the affair. Ishmael alone survives, using his friend Queequeg's coffin as a flotation device until he is ironically rescued by the Rachel, which has continued to search for its missing crew.
