Ungraspable Phantom - Essays on 'Moby-Dick' (Paperback)

A collection of essays presented at the sesquicentenary Moby-Dick conference The twenty-one essays collected in "Ungraspable Phantom" are from an international conference held in 2001 celebrating the 150th anniversary of the publication of Moby-Dick. The essays reflect not only a range of problems and approaches but also the cosmopolitan perspective of international scholarship. They offer new thoughts on familiar topics: the novel's problematic structure, its sources in and reinvention of the Bible, its Lacanian and post-Freudian psychology, and its rhetoric. They also present fresh information on new areas of interest: Melville's creative process, law and jurisprudence, Freemasonry and labor, race, Latin Americanism, and the Native American. Scholars, students, and readers of Moby-Dick will find this collection of essays fresh and insightful.
