Herman Melville’s oeuvre sustains a fundamental tension among
self, society, and others. Sacred Uncertainty explores religious
difference that arises from these many voices, both within American
culture and around the world. Melville’s work is notably shot
through with allusions to other writers and thinkers, whom he
regarded as his truest interlocutors—the figures of genius from
whom he received, as he eloquently stated it in “Hawthorne and
His Mosses,” a “shock of recognition.” There is almost
certainly no more concrete or reliable way to get at Melville’s
affirmations of (and arguments with) these interlocutors than in
the markings and annotations that appear in his copies of many of
their works, so Yothers examines Melville’s marginalia for clues
to Melville’s thinking about self, others, and difference. His
interrogations yield a richer understanding of one of the more
vexing aspects of the great American novelist’s work.
