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.
我最喜歡的小說之一。Norton的版本好處在於補充資料特別詳盡。

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...
评分在未看的《城邦暴力团》里,张大春提到了一个颇为有意思的寻书来读的法子,便是上一本书中提及了某一本书,那么接下来就去读那本书,这样,就好似一场完全由概率和机遇做主的旅行,把自己带向安全又刺激的未知地方。之所以看《白鲸》,也正是因为毛姆在其读书随笔中曾经赞叹过...
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...
评分早就在日记上写过,真正读完这本书,你得有麦尔维尔对鲸的那份执著才行。从今年5月份,到现在已过去的大半个暑假,它一直是我枕边一本极好的催眠书。其实读前一百多页(陆地部分),我只花了一天的时间。而一到出海,大段的陈述就接踵而至,快感全无。从那时起我就感到困惑了。...
