  • ANALYSIS Typee
    ANALYSIS Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life During a Four Months’ Residence in a Valley of the Marquesas (1846) Herman Melville (1819-1891) “Whether the natives are actually maneaters or noble savages, enemies or friends, is a doubt sustained to the very end. At all events, they are the most ‘humane, gentlemanly, and amiable set of epicures’ that the narrator has ever encountered. He is welcomed by mermaids with jet-black tresses, feasted and cured of his wound, and allowed to go canoeing with Fayaway, a less remote enchantress than her name suggests. But danger looms behind felicity; ambiguous forebodings, epicurean but inhumane, reverberate from the heathen idols in the taboo groves; and the narrator escapes to a ship, as he had escaped from another one at the outset…. He has tasted the happiness of the pastoral state. He has enjoyed the primitive condition, as it had been idealized by Rousseau… As for clothes, they wear little more than ‘the garb of Eden’; and Melville…is tempted to moralize over how unbecoming the same costume might look on the civilized. Where Poe’s black men were repulsive creatures, Melville is esthetically entranced by the passionate dances of the Polynesians; and his racial consciousness begins to undergo a radical transposition when he envisions them as pieces of ‘dusky statuary.’ On the whole, he believes, ‘the penalty of the fall presses very lightly upon the valley of Typee.’… If there is any serpent in the Marquesan garden, it is the contaminating contact of the white men. If the children of nature are losing their innocence, that is to be blamed upon their would-be civilizers.

There has been a critical acceptance of the thesis that Melville began as a Transcendentalist; then, as he grew older and presumably less wise in the romantic sense, he eschewed his early idealism and opted for an acceptance of moral expediency and com­ plicity. The beginning hypothesis of this study will be that Melville, although he could be said to share some of Transcendentalism's secondary ideas and attitudes, objected to many of the Transcend­ alists' most cherished beliefs. In fact, one can say that, rather than being a Transcendentalist writer, Melville was an anti­ Transcendentalist writer, constitutionally and intellectuall.y unable to accept the Transcendental view of life. In advancing the argument of this study, the critical works of Melvillean scholars will be considered for the light they may throw upon Transcendental influence on Melville's work.

    "No Life You Have Known": Or, Melville's Contemporary Critics Hester Blum Leviathan, Volume 13, Issue 1, March 2011, pp. 10-20 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/493026/summary Access provided at 9 Apr 2019 00:59 GMT from Penn State Univ Libraries “No Life You Have Known”: Or, Melville’s Contemporary Critics HESTER BLUM The Pennsylvania State University id-nineteenth century evaluations of Herman Melville’s work share acommonattentiontowhatmanyreviewers—anditcanseem Mlike all of them—called the “extravagance” of his writing and his imagination. Critics remarked on his general “love of antic and extravagant speculation” (O’Brien 389) and found that his imagination had a “tendency to wildness and metaphysical extravagance” (Hawthorne and Lemmon 208). In their estimation the “extravagant” Mardi featured “incredibly extravagant disguises” (“Trio” 462) and contained “a world of extravagant phantoms and allegorical shades” (Chasles 262), while Redburn was notable for “episodic extravaganzas” (“Sir Nathaniel” 453). “Unlicensed extravagance” (454) char- acterized even White-Jacket;and“theextravaganttreatment”(454)givento whaling in Moby-Dick stood in for the novel’s “eccentric and monstrously extravagant” nature (“Trio” 463), containing as it did “reckless, inconceivable extravagancies” (“Trio” 463) in addition to “purposeless extravagance” (A.B.R. 364). These surpassed the only “passable extravagancies” of his earlier works (“Book Notices” 93). The critical account offered above was assembled from fragments of criticism of the novels of Melville’s mid-career; readers of Pierre will hear in it the echo of Mary Glendinning’s equally insistent—and equally regulatory— catalogue of her son’s qualities: “A noble boy, and docile..

    ANALYSIS Omoo (1847) Herman Melville (1819-1891) “One can revel in such richly good-natured style…. We therefore recommend this ‘narrative of adventure in the south seas’ as thorough entertainment—not so light as to be tossed aside for its flippancy, nor so profound as to be tiresome.” Walt Whitman Brooklyn Daily Eagle (5 May 1847) “Omoo is a fascinating book: picaresque, rascally, roving. Melville as a bit of a beachcomber. The crazy ship Julia sails to Tahiti, and the mutinous crew are put ashore. Put in the Tahitian prison. It is good reading. Perhaps Melville is at his best, his happiest, in Omoo. For once he is really reckless…. For once he is really careless, roving with that scamp, Doctor Long Ghost. For once he is careless of his actions, careless of his morals, careless of his ideals: ironic, as the epicurean must be…. But it was under the influence of the Long Doctor. This long and bony Scotsman was not a mere ne’er-do-well. He was a man of humorous desperation, throwing his life ironically away…. He let his ship drift rudderless…. When he saw a white man really ‘gone savage,’ a white man with a blue shark tattooed over his brow, gone over to the savages, then Herman’s whole being revolted. He couldn’t bear it.” D. H. Lawrence Studies in Classic American Literature (1923; Doubleday 1953) “The play of fantasy in Omoo takes the form not of nightmarishness or even of daydreaming but of an easy and emotionally liberating current of humorous narrative, always slightly in excess, as one sees with half an eye, of the sober autobiographical facts.

It is true, this would have cut me off from Socrates, who lived in the disappointing period that followed. But then, I might have been Socra tes! (FK 7)’ So wrote the nineteen-year-old Lewis Mumford in 1915. His bold proclamation—”I might have been Socrates!”—provides an important key to understanding the man and his life’s work. While this statement certainly reflects a good deal of idealistic and youthflul presumption, the undaunted confidence and high ambition it suggests are not merely the ingenuous boasts of callow youth. for the spirit of audacity reflected here has been an essential and enduring quality of Mum- ford’s thought and writing throughout his sixty-year career in Ameri can letters. Well before he began to establish a literary reputation, the aspiring young writer who so glibly imagines himself as Socrates reveals his profound confidence in his potential and destiny.

Whereas once editors had to squeeze a book, with notes, glossaries, bibliographies, lists of variants, illustrations, critical introductions—a clanking hulk of editorial apparatus—between two cloth-covered boards, new media paradigms can create and sustain inconceivably immense bodies of work.i With dazzling multimedia components, open-ended collaborations between readers connected by wikis and discussion forums, and armies of young scholars eager to play, the digital literary archive seems to represent the very latest, most promising, least contained, and in all ways biggest thing around. Yet as older media forms—print, film, video, sound recordings— evolve in new media landscapes, they have met (and collided) in what Henry Jenkins has identified as a “convergence culture,” where users may access these many forms through one portal.

As a result of the popularity of this book and a com­ panion volume of adventure in the South Seas, Omoo, published a year l a ter, Melville achieved both consider able f ame as a writer of romances and considerable notoriety as "the man who lived among cannib'-~ ls." In 1849, he published Mardi -- "to see whether, the fiction might not, possibly be received for a verity: in some degree the r everse of my previous experi­ ence," he s ays in the Preface. The book was an unmi ~t akable failure, i n spite of, or perhaps because of, the variety of muteriel Melville crammed into it.

  • ANALYSIS White-Jacket (1850) Herman Melville (1819-1891)
    ANALYSIS White-Jacket (1850) Herman Melville (1819-1891) “The story begins and ends with the garment, which also appears reiteratively throughout the novel, a true recurrent theme…. A letter from Melville to [Richard Henry] Dana confirms that a white jacket had actually been a possession of Melville’s on board the United States…. White for Melville was ambiguous; it might stand for joy and innocence, it might stand for emptiness and terror. White ranges from funerals to weddings. White-Jacket begins with the white-innocence relationship but eventually grows into the white- terror relationship at the end, reaching that point through a series of grotesque scenes depicting rejection. In Moby-Dick, white is employed as a terror symbol from the first appearance of the great white whale…. Symbolically, [White-Jacket] wants self-sufficiency, and in this sufficiency to remain aloof from—or above—his fellow sailors…. White-Jacket’s isolation, however, results not from any profound desire to know himself through contemplation but rather from his refusal to participate in the ordinary life of humanity. Though he achieves a momentary harmony, and a superficial one…the evils of the Neversink more and more shatter his peace. What White-Jacket was trying to hold and protect was the paradise now almost lost. The jacket is also a symbol of pseudo-self-sufficiency…. The garment fails him. High in the yard-arm, White Jacket almost loses his life when his mates below, mistaking him in his white garment for the ghost of the recently deceased Shenley, ‘hastily lowered the halyards in affright.’ To render himself less conspicuous, he tries to darken the jacket, but the captain of the paint room will give him no paint.

According to Melville’s fictional philosopher, Mark Winsome (as glossed by his fictional disciple Egbert), to come to the friend’s assistance is immediately to annul the friendship, to violate “the delicacy of the connec- tion” (CM, 206).
