Together with such contemporaries as the poets Longfellow and Whitman, and essayists Emerson and Thoreau, these brilliant writers are known as the American Renaissance. They form a key phase in American culture. Their stories tend to be heavily plotted, and often are directly ancestral to such modern genres as the mystery story and science fiction, both of which tend to feature complex plots. The stories tend to be highly imaginative, but not especially realistic. They are written in a rich, complex prose style, which seems derived from poetry, especially the works of Shakespeare, and such Romantic poets as Coleridge. Oftentimes there is considerable direct discussion in the tales of matters of philosophy, culture, human thought, and life. There are also often symbolic meanings contained in the stories.

43. Herman Melville Happily for the more prudish professors of literature, the known facts of herman melville s life reveal nothing so scandalous as an overtly homosexual http://www.infopt.demon.co.uk/melville.htm

Herman Melville Rictor Norton Biographical Background Happily for the more prudish professors of literature, the known facts of Herman Melville's life reveal nothing so scandalous as an overtly homosexual liaison. One can, however, suggest with some certainty that Melville was "confused." For example, when his son Stanwix was born, Melville on the birth certificate accidentally identified his own mother as the mother of his son. This was when he was writing Pierre , a novel explicitly devoted to themes of incest. Relations with his wife were never very good; the first book published after his wedding, Mardi (1849) is a celebration of the intimate friendship of two men, and equates marriage with suicide. Incestuous mix-ups (which Melville himself linked with homosexuality) and misogyny (which many people link with male homosexuality), are the two rather negative factors taken into account when assessing Melville's erotic makeup. But frankly these two themes do not dominate the bulk of his work, and it is the more positive theme of masculine love which provides the sounder reason for seeing in his works some major threads of the homosexual imagination. Melville's closest attachment about which we have evidence was with the other great American writer Nathaniel Hawthorne - who, as far as I can tell, was so thoroughly heterosexual that nothing untoward could possibly have occurred between them. Melville felt for Hawthorne a powerful love that excluded consideration of both their wives. When he met Hawthorne, his neighbor in Massachusetts, he immediately fell for him, as yin for yang, and cast himself as the woman to Hawthorne's man, as in this slightly embarrassing expression of his love:

Liberty [from a 19th-century hymn] In his twenties Melville wrote a number of very popular sea stories. These were followed by more serious, ambitious works (such as Moby-Dick ) which were much less successful with the public and failed to find an audience even in more educated, literary circles. At the age of 37 he abandoned the idea of making his living from writing. Increasingly forgotten, his only literary output over the next thirty years was poems which he and his relatives paid to have published. Around his seventieth year, interest in his work began to revive. A final flowering of his genius, Billy Budd, Foretopman

Melville was born in New York City to a prosperous and distinguished family. In 1830, his father's bankruptcy and subsequent madness brought a radical alteration in the young man's life. The sense of a patrician past, of a dark secret, and of a radical loss of social status remained with him forever. Although Maria Melville's family aided their now poor relations, further disasters followed quickly. Sponsor Message. Herman Melville thus became the impoverished but genteel man who is sent off to sea, a career for which he had in no way been prepared. In 1839, after his brother's bankruptcy, Herman shipped to Liverpool as a cabin boy, an experience that is recorded in his novel Redburn After his return, and a trip west, Melville sailed on a whaling ship in the South Seas, where he jumped ship in the Marquesas (an experience that inspired

Moby Dick by Herman Melville - Chapter One - Loomings There now is your insular city of the Manhattoes, belted round by wharves as Indian isles by coral reefs - commerce surrounds it with her surf. Right and left, the streets take you waterward. Its extreme down-town is the battery, where that noble mole is washed by waves, and cooled by breezes, which a few hours previous were out of sight of land. Look at the crowds of water-gazers there. Circumambulate the city of a dreamy Sabbath afternoon. Go from Corlears Hook to Coenties Slip, and from thence, by Whitehall northward. What do you see? - Posted like silent sentinels all around the town, stand thousands upon thousands of mortal men fixed in ocean reveries. Some leaning against the spiles; some seated upon the pier-heads; some looking over the bulwarks of ships from China; some high aloft in the rigging, as if striving to get a still better seaward peep. But these are all landsmen; of week days pent up in lath and plaster - tied to counters, nailed to benches, clinched to desks. How then is this? Are the green fields gone? What do they here? But look! here come more crowds, pacing straight for the water, and seemingly bound for a dive. Strange! Nothing will content them but the extremest limit of the land; loitering under the shady lee of yonder warehouses will not suffice. No. They must get just as nigh the water as they possibly can without falling in. And there they stand - miles of them - leagues. Inlanders all, they come from lanes and alleys, streets and avenues, - north, east, south, and west. Yet here they all unite. Tell me, does the magnetic virtue of the needles of the compasses of all those ships attract them thither?

54. THE HERPETOLOGY OF HERMAN MELVILLE'S MOBY-DICK An article that explores melville s reptile/amphibian references in _MobyDick_. http://www.herpetology.com/2phs30.html

THE HERPETOLOGY OF HERMAN MELVILLE'S MOBY-DICK Hobart M. Smith and Rozella B. Smith Department of Environmental, Population and Organismic Biology University of Colorado 334, Boulder, Colorado 80309 For most biologists, the most intensive indexing they encounter or perform involves notation of all scientific names or key words occurring in all literature pertinent to given topics. However exhaustive - and exhausting - such levels or indexing may seem, they are crude indeed in comparison with the total recovery characteristic of modern concordances prepared in the field of humanities. An excellent example is Irey's recent (1982) Moby-Dick concordance, one of a series of the most sophisticated and thereby broadly useful concordances ever produced, emanating from the University of Colorado's Center for Computer Research in the Humanities under the direction of Dr. Michael Preston. Such concordances are tools for virtually limitless numbers of analyses. We here assay an appraisal of Melville's herpetological awareness as revealed by the only biological work he ever wrote, Moby-Dick. The concordance from which we have sourced this analysis (Irey, 1982), in turn drawn from the text of the Mansfield and Vincent (1952) edition based on the original 1851 work, consists mostly (1897 pp.) of a list in brief context of every usage (with speech part indicated) of every one of the approximately 17,000 different "content" words, occurring in the some 208,000 total words of Moby-Dick, each with page, chapter and line citation. A few "function" words (articles, conjunctions, interjections, prepositions, pronouns) are listed separately without context or page references, although the number of occurrences of each is given (e.g. the, 14214; of, 6461; and, 6339; a, 4618). The work ends with unannotated lists of content words in each of several parts of speech, viz. nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs, a list of hyphenated words alphabetized by elements succeeding the hyphen, and a frequency list for all words except those occurring only once.

Moby-Dick : The Greatest American Whaling Story Herman Melville (1819-1891). On December 30, 1840, at the age of 21 years, Herman Melville signed the shipping articles for a whaling voyage to the Pacific Ocean aboard the ship Acushnet of Fairhaven, MA, Valentine Pease, master. The vessel set sail down the Acushnet River estuary on January 3, 1841, past the great wharves of New Bedford, the then whaling capitol of the world, and out into the North Atlantic. This author of genius was being carried off on the voyage that would inspire one of the greatest works of literature in the American language. He endured eighteen months at sea. He had little formal education but a background rich in adventure. As the character Ishmael says in Moby-Dick , ". . . a whale ship was my Yale College and my Harvard." In writing his novel, Melville drew primarily on what he had learned at sea. While on the Acushnet, he met Owen Chase during a gam (exchange of visits between whaleships). Chase gave him a written account of his father's experiences on the Ship Essex, which was sunk by a whale. "The reading of this wondrous story on the landless sea, and so close to the very latitude of the shipwreck, had a surprising effect upon me," Melville later wrote.
