Search: Study Guides Editing Services ... Help Biography of Herman Melville (1819-1891) Herman Melville Herman Melville was born on the first of August in 1819 in New York City, the third of eight children of Allan and Maria Gansevoort Melvill. His ancestors included several Scottish and Dutch settlers of New York as well as prominent leaders in the American Revolution. His paternal grandfather, Major Thomas Melvill, was a member of the Boston Tea Party and his maternal grandfather, General Peter Gansevoort, was renowned for leading the defense of Ft. Stanwix against the British during the revolution. Melville's father was involved in the felt and fur import business, yet in 1830 his business collapsed and the Melvill family moved from New York City to Albany, where Allan Melvill died two years later. As a child, Herman suffered from extremely poor eyesight caused by a bout of scarlet fever, but he was able to attend Male High School despite his difficulties. Herman Melville worked as a bank clerk before attending the Albany Classical School, and then worked for a short time as a teacher in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Although he studied surveying at Landingsburgh Academy in order to take part in the Erie Canal Project, he did not gain a post with the project and instead shipped out of America as a cabin boy on the St. Lawrence bound for Liverpool. By this time, Melville had already started writing. In January of 1841 Melville undertook a second voyage on the whaler Acushnet from New Bedford to the South Seas. By June of the following year the Acushnet landed in the Polynesian Islands, and Melville's adventures in this area became the basis for his first novel, Typee (1846). This novel is the reputed story of his life among the cannibalistic Typee people for several months in 1842, but is likely a highly fictionalized dramatization of the actual events. Melville's second novel, Omoo (1847) detailed the adventures of another whaling journey in which Melville took part in a mutiny and landed in a Tahitian jail from which he later easily escaped.

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,"

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History MELVILLE, HERMAN , author. Although Melville has been regarded throughout most of the twentieth century as one of America's most powerful literary artists, particularly for his masterpiece Moby-Dick, he was largely unrecognized in his lifetime. Born into a once-prominent family, Melville enlisted as a sailor on the whaler Acushnet in 1841. His experiences supplied him with raw materials for the sea narratives he later wrote. After four years at sea, Melville settled in New York and became associated with a group of editors and journalists seeking to foster a "home" literature. With the backing of editor Evert Duyckinck, Melville published his semiautobiographical sea adventure Typee in 1846, followed in 1847 by its sequel Omoo. His critical reception was as favorable as it would ever be. But even in these first reviews, critics condemned not only his enticing descriptions of Polynesian life and his attacks on American missionaries in the Pacific but less predictably, what they called his lack of "veracity"—a disinclination for realistic representation that suggested to some an intent to mislead his readers. Despite what he knew of his readership's intolerance for "flights of fancy," Melville then published a political allegory, Mardi

Herman Melville Activities This link leads to artifacts, teaching tips and discussion questions for this author. Herman Melville's father was a New York City merchant who, when he died suddenly, left his family heavily in debt. Melville was only twelve at the time, but he was forced to leave school to go to work. After working in a variety of low-paying jobs (clerk, laborer, schoolteacher), in 1841 Melville joined a whaler sailing for the South Seas. Aboard a series of ships, he was away for three years. Ishmael, the narrator of Melville's 1851 Moby-Dick , surely speaks for the author as well when he says that "a whale-ship was my Yale College and my Harvard." In addition to learning the dangerous and difficult business of whaling itself, Melville also gained an unusually diverse cultural education. At one point, he and a crewmate jumped ship and lived for several weeks with a native tribe; upon his return to America, Melville transformed that experience into

Yoga Moby Dick by Melville, Herman (1819-1891) Filed under: Formats: Download this book Synopsis Written by one of America's greatest authors, Moby-Dick is a work of tremendous power and depth-one of world literature's great poetic epics. In the novel, published in 1851 after sixteen months of writing, Herman Melville recounts the Promethean quest of Captain Ahab, who, having lost a leg in a earlier battle with White Whale, is determined to catch the beast and destroy it. By the time readers meet Ahab, he is a vengeful, crazed, and terror-provoking figure, for Moby Dick has come to represent for him all the evil in the world. The relentless voyage of Ahab and his crew, a finely etched group of weird and wonderful characters who seem both flesh-and-blood individuals and symbolic of the varying qualities of men, becomes a masterful drama of life at sea. The drama is made more fascinating by Melville's eloquent style-a combination of the journalistic, colloquial, and poetic-and the themes and subjects he pursues-whales and whaling; mean's need for love and comradeship; and the fury of Ahab for the whale. Through realistic storytelling, symbolic allegory, and allusive and figurative language, Melville achieves in Moby-dicka special intensity that readers will marvel at, and not soon forget.
