In this radical reinterpretation, Mr. Thompson argues that
Melville, seeking to disguise his agonized conviction of the
cruelty and malice of God, consistently satirized Christian
doctrine. He endeavors to show that Melville resorted to literary
deceptions that could simultaneously hoodwink and satirize the
point of view of his orthodox readers. This bold challenge to the
conventional interpretation of Melville is brilliantly presented
and fully supported by external and internal evidence in such a way
as to reveal a sinister intent in all of the major narratives from
Typee through Billy Budd. Originally published in 1952. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
