SoSe 19: "I would prefer not to": Reading Herman Melville
Birte Wege
Comments
Few works of fiction can lay quite as strong a claim to being the great American novel as can Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick; or, The Whale (1851). In this seminar, intended as an introduction to Melville’s groundbreaking work, we will explore the challenging complex formal and thematic aspects of this book, as well as examining a broad cross-section of Melville’s writing, ranging from his early adventure fiction to his final novel, Billy Budd, Sailor. The focus will be on the primary texts, which will include Moby-Dick, Typee, The Confidence-man, and Billy Budd, as well as some of the author’s shorter fiction. close
