Download or read book Journals written by Herman Melville and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents Melville's three known journals. Unlike his contemporaries Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne, Melville kept no habitual record of his days and thoughts; each of his three journals records his actions and observations on trips far from home. In this edition's Historical Note, Howard C. Horsford places each of the journals in the context of Melville's career, discusses its general character, and points out the later literary uses he made of it, notably in Moby-Dick, Clarel, and his magazine pieces. The editors supply full annotations of Melville's allusions and terse entries and an exhaustive index makes available the range of his acquaintance with people, places, and works of art. Also included are related documents, illustrations, maps, and many pages and passages reproduced from the journals. This scholarly edition aims to present a text as close to the author's intention as his difficult handwriting permits. It is an Approved Text of the Center for Editions of American Authors (Modern Language Association of America).

Download or read book Torah and Constitution written by Milton R. Konvitz and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1998-02-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, which spans his entire career, as an expert on the justice system, Milton R. Konvitz analyzes the connections between the Torah and the American Constitution. He elaborates on the centrality of law both in America and in Judaism: the first bound to the Constitution and the Framers, the second bound to Revelation, expanding to a legal system fashioned and refashioned by human interpretation. Konvitz has long been considered a preeminent scholar on First Amendment rights, civil rights, and the law in America. These pieces, compiled here for the first time, gain new resonance as part of an ongoing theme-the accord of American democracy and the Jewish religious tradition.
Download or read book Melville s Quarrel With God written by Lawrance Roger Thompson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this radical reinterpretation, Mr. Thompson argues that Melville, seeking to disguise his agonized conviction of the cruelty and malice of God, consistently satirized Christian doctrine. He endeavors to show that Melville resorted to literary deceptions that could simultaneously hoodwink and satirize the point of view of his orthodox readers. This bold challenge to the conventional interpretation of Melville is brilliantly presented and fully supported by external and internal evidence in such a way as to reveal a sinister intent in all of the major narratives from Typee through Billy Budd. Originally published in 1952.

Download or read book The Characteristic Theology of Herman Melville written by Bradley A. Johnson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What becomes of theology when we think of it aesthetically? What becomes of aesthetics when we think of it theologically? These are the guiding questions that inform both the method and the conclusions of this volume's exploration into the literary world of Herman Melville's "characteristic theology." Far from a specialist work that simply seeks to flesh out the religious disposition and myriad influences of one particular literary giant, Johnson's focus in this volume is instead the identification of a philosophically robust aesthetic conception of theology at its most politically and contemporarily relevant. By way of the Masquerade it sets in motion and in which it fully participates, from its beginning to its very end, this book uses Melville's fiction as vehicle for a radical aesthetic engagement with the theological bases of subjectivity and sovereignty. Through this exploration Johnson conceives the creatively duplicitous character of a materialistic theology whose aim is nothing less than the fashioning of a new heaven and a new earth.

Download or read book Collected Prose written by Charles Olson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1997-12-19 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prose writings of Charles Olson (1910–1970) have had a far-reaching and continuing impact on post-World War II American poetics. Olson's theories, which made explicit the principles of his own poetics and those of the Black Mountain poets, were instrumental in defining the sense of the postmodern in poetry and form the basis of most postwar free verse. The Collected Prose brings together in one volume the works published for the most part between 1946 and 1969, many of which are now out of print. A valuable companion to editions of Olson's poetry, the book backgrounds the poetics, preoccupations, and fascinations that underpin his great poems. Included are Call Me Ishmael, a classic of American literary criticism; the influential essays "Projective Verse" and "Human Universe"; and essays, book reviews, and Olson's notes on his studies. In these pieces one can trace the development of his new science of man, called "muthologos," a radical mix of myth and phenomenology that Olson offered in opposition to the mechanistic discourse and rationalizing policy he associated with America's recent wars in Europe and Asia. Editors Donald Allen and Benjamin Friedlander offer helpful annotations throughout, and poet Robert Creeley, who enjoyed a long and mutually influential relationship with Olson, provides the book's introduction.
