In Melville, Mapping and Globalization, Robert Tally argues that
Melville does not belong in the tradition of the American
Renaissance, but rather creates a baroque literary cartography,
artistically engaging with spaces beyond the national model. At a
time of intense national consolidation and cultural centralization,
Melville discovered the postnational forces of an emerging world
system, a system that has become our own in the era of
globalization. Drawing on the work of a range of literary and
social critics (including Deleuze, Foucault, Jameson, and Moretti),
Tally argues that Melville's distinct literary form enabled his
critique of the dominant national narrative of his own time and
proleptically undermined the national literary tradition of
American Studies a century later. Melville's hypercanonical status
in the United States makes his work all the more crucial for
understanding the role of literature in a post-American epoch.
Offering bold new interpretations and theoretical juxtapositions,
Tally presents a postnational Melville, well suited to establishing
new approaches to American and world literature in the twenty-first
century.
