Death in Herman Melville's Fiction

Death in Herman Melville's Fiction

Corey Evan Thompson

Academica Press
2020

Literary critics have aptly noted that death is arguably the most frequent topic, theme, or occurrence in all of American literature. Naturally, the works of such authors as Charles Brockden Brown, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, Kate Chopin, Shirley Jackson, and Stephen King, among countless others, go to great lengths to support this observation; however, the renowned nineteenth-century American literary giant Herman Melville, most famous as the author of Moby Dick, has been frequently overlooked. In this book, seasoned literary scholar Corey Evan Thompson seeks to remedy this oversight.Death in Herman Melville’s Fiction: Melville’s “Memento Mori” is the first full-length study to examine the ubiquity and implications of death in Melville’s prose fiction. As Thompson shows, death occurs in all of Melville’s novels and much of his shorter fiction by various means. Not only is death a frequent occurrence in Melville’s fiction, but his characters die regardless of age, health, social status, or moral character. Drawing from his father’s death, Melville’s fiction provides his readers with the difficult realization that it is the inevitable destination for everyone who is on this journey called life.

The Manifesto of Herman Melville

The Manifesto of Herman Melville

Barry Sanders

OR Books
2025

In this iconoclastic and sure to be contentious re-casting by a renowned critic, the great American novel Moby Dick is presented as a work that has been widely misread, an error that continues to this day. According to Barry Sanders, Herman Melville’s best- known work is not a novel, does not pretend to be a novel, and was not intended by its author to be read as a novel. Moby Dick is this country’s first manifesto, a tocsin sounded to warn us about the encroaching end of nature. The Manifesto of Herman Melville traces the evolution of Moby Dick—from its awful, initial reception, very rapidly passing out of print, to its remarkable revival to become lauded as one of America’s great literary classics. That turnaround happened in the early decades of the 20th century and was, in great part, the result of the new and radical aesthetic movements such as surrealism, dadaism, and cubism that allowed for a radical reading of the book. The novel’s new standing as one of the keystones of the American cannon disguises its deeper meaning as an alarm bell, an obscuring which Barry Sanders, in a critical assessment that is as persuasive as it is provocative, seeks to clear away. Sanders argues that Moby Dick needs to be recognized as Melville's manifesto: a bold statement warning of the destruction of the natural world made most evident in the book’s central metaphor the relentless pursuit to kill the whale, the first sentient being in Genesis and one of the most startling mammals—possessed of hair and scales, a tail and breasts—and the largest of the creatures on earth, weighing up to 400,000 pounds. Whalers in Melville’s day hunted down and killed these extraordinary behemoths of nature, for their oil, sold to people for cooking and to light their homes. Today the pursuit for energy has shifted dramatically, from sea to land, but the prize remains the same: energy producing fuel for which entrepreneurs and adventurers are prepared to kill off all of nature.
