Discover a fascinating new set of perspectives on the life and work
of Herman Melville A New Companion to Herman Melville delivers an
insightful examination of Melville for the twenty-first century.
Building on the success of the first Blackwell Companion to Herman
Melville, and offering a variety of tools for reading, writing, and
teaching Melville and other authors, this New Companion offers
critical, technological, and aesthetic practices that can be
employed to read Melville in exciting and revelatory ways. Editors
Wyn Kelley and Christopher Ohge create a framework that reflects a
pluralistic model for humanities teaching and research. In doing
so, the contributing authors highlight the ways in which Melville
himself was concerned with the utility of tools within fluid
circuits of meaning, and how those ideas are embodied, enacted, and
mediated. In addition to considering critical theories of race,
gender, sexuality, religion, transatlantic and hem-ispheric
studies, digital humanities, book history, neurodiversity, and new
biography and reception studies, this book offers: A thorough
introduction to the life of Melville, as well as the twentieth- and
twenty-first-century revivals of his work Comprehensive
explorations of Melville's works, including Moby-Dick, Pierre,
Piazza Tales, and Israel Potter, as well as his poems and poetic
masterpiece Clarel Practical discussions of material books, print
culture, and digital technologies as applied to Melville In-depth
examinations of Melville's treatment of the natural world Two
symposium sections with concise reflections on art and adaptation,
and on teaching and public engagement A New Companion to Herman
Melville provides essential reading for scholars and students
ranging from undergraduate and graduate students to more advanced
scholars and specialists in the field.
