The long-awaited companion volume to Gail Coffler's first book,
Melville's Classical Allusions, has finally arrived. In this new
volume, thousands of references to Judeo-Christian and other
religions in Herman Melville's books are referenced. The index
includes references to all of his novels, short stories, poetry,
lectures, letters, and journals. With it, one can trace a given
allusion through the entire canon, or research any individual work,
such as Moby Dick, Billy Budd, or Benito Cereno from beginning to
end. Readers interested in Melville's writing and philosophy as
well as researchers of 19th century literature, culture, and
religion will appreciate this book. This volume begins with a
master index that lists all religious allusions and their location
throughout Melville's works. Next, there is an alphabetical index
and a sequential index of all allusions in each of the individual
volumes. The sequential index lists allusions in their
chronological page order and identifies many bible passages alluded
to or quoted by Melville, citing the bible book, chapter, and
verse. A supplementary index alphabetically lists the allusions in
Melville's Correspondence and Journals. The book concludes with a
glossary briefly explaining all allusions and gives cross
references to related entries.
