For this Sesquicentennial Norton Critical Edition, the Northwestern-Newberry text of Moby-Dick has been generously footnoted to include dozens of biographical discoveries, mainly from Hershel Parker's work on his two-volume biography of Melville. A section of "Whaling and Whalecraft" features prose and graphics by John B. Putnam, a sample of contemporary whaling engravings, as well as, new to this edition, an engraving of Tupai Cupa, the real-life inspiration for the character of Queequeg. Evoking Melville's fascination with the fluidity of categories like savagery and civilization, the image of Tupai Cupa fittingly introduces "Before Moby-Dick: International Controversy over Melville," a new section that documents the ferocity of religions, political, and sexual hostility toward Melville in reaction to his early books, beginning with Typee in 1846. The image of Tupai Cupa also evokes Melville's interest in the mystery of self-identity and the possibility of knowing another person's "queenly personality" (Chapter 119). That theme (focused on Melville, Ishmael, and Ahab) is pursued in "A Handful of Critical Challenges," from Walter E. Bezanson's classic centennial study through Harrison Hayford's meditation on "Loomings" and recent essays by Camille Paglia and John Wenke. In "Reviews and Letters by Melville," a letter has been redated and a wealth of new biographical material has been added to the footnotes, notably to Melville's "Hawthorne and His Mosses." "Analogues and Sources" retains classic pieces by J. N. Reynolds and Owen Chase, as well as new findings by Geoffrey Sanborn and Steven Olsen-Smith. "Reviews of Moby-Dick" emphasizes the ongoing religious hostility toward Melville and highlights new discoveries, such as the first-known Scottish review of The Whale. "Posthumous Praise and the Melville Revival: 1893-1927" collects belated, enthusiastic praise up through that of William Faulkner. "Biographical Cross-Light" is Hershel Parker's somber look at what writing Moby-Dick cost Melville and his family. From Foreword through Selected Bibliography, this Sesquicentennial Norton Critical Edition is uniquely valuable as the most up-to-date and comprehensive documentary source for study of Moby-Dick.
Hershel Parker is an editor of The Norton Anthology of American Literature, and of the Norton Critical Edition of Melville's The Confidence-Man. He is co-editor of the multi-volume The Writings of Herman Melville (Northwestern-Newberry). Harrison Hayford is co-editor of the multi-volume The Writings of Herman Melville (Northwestern-Newberry), and editor of the Library of America Melville, in addition to many other works.
tough, really tough read
评分白鲸之白|梅尔维尔对于传统单一知识结构的反叛,对于文学传统结构的parody和挑战都可以在这一章看出。
评分150周年纪念版的context部分还收入了John Putnam的捕鲸船图解说明以及描绘故事情节的雕版画,另外还附航海术语词汇表。小说用典极多,觉得要真正领会还需要读好几遍。。。。
评分tough, really tough read
评分白鲸之白|梅尔维尔对于传统单一知识结构的反叛,对于文学传统结构的parody和挑战都可以在这一章看出。
上帝好像是故意的,在创造英雄时必为其添上邪魔之气。所以麦克白被诛灭,赫拉克勒斯在毒痛中自取死亡,凡是对着世界披荆斩棘的,总在一个不留神中把自己捅杀。Moby-Dick的故事把背景板换成了海洋,但没有逃出这个预言的圈。 扮演神魔一体之角色的是船长Ahab. 他是传说式的人物...
评分得闲看完了《Moby Dick》,中文译名是《白鲸记》,也译作《大白鲸》。对这本书产生兴趣是藉由某部美剧,剧中一个十几岁的美国男孩在家和父母抱怨写《Moby Dick》的读书笔记的烦恼,我老公就随口说了句,这本书在美国似乎蛮有名的,很多美国电影和电视剧中都提到过这本书,我旋...
评分在这片神秘的场域之上,我们捕获并解剖世界的架构、将它公然晾干并以之为序,但我们所及之物也止于架构而无涉世界之核。这核于世界而言是秩序,同时亦是无度;于你而言是命运,并终于化归死亡。在你扑入它的维度的一刻(却无时无刻不在它的维度中),你已出离原在之所(迈向原...
评分麦尔维尔在《白鲸》的卷首说,他把这书献给霍桑,聊表他的敬慕之情。 曾经感觉相当的奇怪。 没法喜欢《红字》。虔诚清教徒式的敏感、狂热和故做镇静,一如戏剧或者诗歌式的宏伟架构,与夏多布里昂的《阿拉达》一样的蛮荒背景但远为沉重。雨果的浪漫主义比他要轻得...
评分每个人心中都有一个莫比迪克,一个恐惧却又想对人证明自己能征服的对象,而这个莫比迪克始终是无敌的,因为它压根没有把谁当做敌人,它被冒犯而咬掉亚哈的腿,这也并不是出于什么情感因素,只不过是动物的一种本能反应而已。亚哈愣是赋予了它感情因素,仇恨情节,似乎是莫...
