About this product
Product Information
In this book Peter J. Bellis aims to show how Melville's career is shaped by his desire to define and represent the self, to find a secure identity on which to base personal and social relations. Using Typee , Pierre , White-Jacket , Redburn , Billy Budd , and Moby-Dick as models, Bellis isolates three forms of selfhood--the integrity of the physical body, the son's genealogical link to his father, and the coherence of an autobiographical text--that Melville explores throughout his work. He shows how, as Melville texts each of these, his work becomes increasingly self-reflexive and self-critical; his search for an absolute ground for both self and text ends by undermining the very authority it would establish. In this Melville differed markedly from Whitman and Thoreau, who did find or create identities for themselves in their writing. Bellis examines Melville's last novel, The Confidence-Man , to show his method as ultimately deconstructive--culminating, in fact, in the abandonment of Melville's own career as a novelist.
