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.
150周年紀念版的context部分還收入瞭John Putnam的捕鯨船圖解說明以及描繪故事情節的雕版畫,另外還附航海術語詞匯錶。小說用典極多,覺得要真正領會還需要讀好幾遍。。。。
評分Call me Ishmael.
評分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。
評分我知道這本書很"偉大",也很喜歡其中一些很詩意的片段,但我必須要說,我更中意十九世紀英國文學的原因就是因為他們也在質疑信仰,科學,重構史詩,而且在做這些的同時,依然延續瞭英文文學固有的優雅,高貴和美好。我感覺我很長時間不會想讀這本書,而且它也堅定瞭我要做一個Victorianist的決心

一个多世纪以来,国人的目光越来越多地汇聚到了地球的那一端,那片红色的土地,那个名曰美利坚合纵国的地方。老一辈人通过沙场上的生死相逢和上头的宣传来渲染这个敌人的面目,我们这代人则从电影小说各类报纸电视节目来认识它。因而伴随上代人记忆的,是这个国家的政经军的强...
評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...
評分 評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...
