  • From Wall Street to Astor Place: Historicizing Melville's `Bartleby'
    Barbara From Wall Street to Astor Place: Historicizing Foley Melville's "Bartleby" In recent years critics have been calling for a re­ grounding of mid-nineteenth-century American li terature-of the ro­ mance in particular- in politics and history. John McWilliams ap­ plauds the contemporary "challenge to the boundaqless and abstract qualities of the older idea of the Romance's neutral territory." George Dekker notes that recent attempts to "rehistoricize the American ro­ mance'' have entailed an "insist[ence] that our major romancers have always been profoundly concerned with what might be called the men­ tal or ideological 'manners' of American society, and that their seem­ ingly anti-mimetic fictions both represent and criticize those man­ ners. " 1 But Herman Melville's "Bartleby. the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street" (1853) has to this point been exempted from a thorough­ going historical recontextualization; its subtitle remains to be fully explained. Not all readings of the tale, to be sure, have been "boundaryless and abstract." Critics interested in the tale's autobiographical dimen­ sion have interpreted it as an allegory of the writer's fate in a market society. noting specific links with Melville's own difficult authorial career. Scholars concerned wilh the story's New York setting have discovered some important references to contemporaneous events. Marxist critics have argued that "Bartleby" offers a portrait of the increasing alienation of labor in the rationalized capitalist economy that took shape in the mid-nineteenth-century United States.2 But such critical enterprises have remained largely separate, with the result that biography.
