The Temeraire Herman Melville Search all of Herman Melville Herman Melville (1819-1891) , American author, best known for his novels of the sea and especially for his masterpiece Moby Dick (1851), a whaling adventure dedicated to Nathaniel Hawthorne. The work was only recognized as a masterpiece years after Melville's death. The fictionalized travel narrative Typee (1846) was Melville's most popular book during his lifetime. Herman Melville was born on August 1, 1819 in New York City into an established merchant family. His father became bankrupt and insane, dying when Melville was 12. A bout of scarlet fever in 1826 left Melville with permanently weakened eyesight. He attended Albany (N.Y.) Classical School in 1835. From the age of 12, he worked as a clerk, teacher, and farmhand. In search of adventures, he shipped out in 1839 as a cabin boy on the whaler Achushnet. He later joined the US Navy, and started his years long voyages on ships, sailing both the Atlantic and the South Seas. Typee

His ancestors included several Scottish and Dutch settlers of New York as well as prominent leaders in the American Revolution. His paternal grandfather, Major Thomas Melvill, was a member of the Boston Tea Party and his maternal grandfather, General Peter Gansevoort, was renowned for leading the defense of Ft. Stanwix against the British during the revolution. Melville's father was involved in the felt and fur import business, yet in 1830 his business collapsed and the Melvill family moved from New York City to Albany, where Allan Melvill died two years later. As a child, Herman suffered from extremely poor eyesight caused by a bout of scarlet fever, but he was able to attend Male High School despite his difficulties. Herman Melville worked as a bank clerk before attending the Albany Classical School, and then worked for a short time as a teacher in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Although he studied surveying at Landingsburgh Academy in order to take part in the Erie Canal Project, he did not gain a post with the project and instead shipped out of America as a cabin boy on the St. Lawrence bound for Liverpool. By this time, Melville had already started writing. In January of 1841 Melville undertook a second voyage on the whaler Acushnet from New Bedford to the South Seas. By June of the following year the Acushnet landed in the Polynesian Islands, and Melville's adventures in this area became the basis for his first novel, Typee (1846). This novel is the reputed story of his life among the cannibalistic Typee people for several months in 1842, but is likely a highly fictionalized dramatization of the actual events. Melville's second novel, Omoo (1847) detailed the adventures of another whaling journey in which Melville took part in a mutiny and landed in a Tahitian jail from which he later easily escaped.

Herman Melville N Typee Omoo (1847) y Mardi (1849) están ambientadas en las islas de los Mares del Sur. Redburn (1849) está basada en su primer viaje por mar, mientras que La guerrera blanca (1850) relata sus experiencias en el ejército. En 1850 se estableció en una granja cerca de Pittsfield (Massachusetts), donde entabló una estrecha amistad con Nathaniel Hawthorne, autor que ejercería una gran influencia en Melville y a quien éste dedicó su obra maestra, Moby Dick o la ballena blanca (1851). El tema central de esta novela es el conflicto entre el capitán Ahab, patrón del ballenero Pequod, y la gran ballena blanca que le arrancó las piernas al capitán a la altura de la rodilla. Ahab, ávido de venganza, se lanza con toda su tripulación a una desesperada búsqueda de su enemigo. La obra sobrepasa en mucho la aventura y se convierte en una alegoría sobre el mal incomprensible representado por la ballena, un monstruo de las profundidades, que ataca y destruye lo que se pone en su camino, y también por el capitán Ahab, que representa la maldad absurda y obstinada, que sostiene una venganza personal y arrastra a la muerte inútil a muchos inocentes. La ambigüedad con la que se juzgan el bien y el mal hace de esta novela una heredera de la Odisea de Homero e incluso de La Divina Comedia de Dante. Moby Dick no resultó un éxito comercial y la siguiente novela de Melville

Herman Melville (1819-1891) Contributing Editor: Carolyn L. Karcher Classroom Issues and Strategies The primary problems I have encountered in teaching Melville are the difficulty of the language and the complexity of the narrative point of view. This is particularly true of "Benito Cereno," but Billy Budd and "The Paradise of Bachelors and the Tartarus of Maids" also present problems for students unaccustomed to allusive and circuitous language and a complex narrative stance. Students usually find "Bartleby" and "The Encantadas" much more accessible. "Hawthorne and His Mosses" is daunting to students because of its allusiveness. It also needs to be set in the context of debate over how nineteenth-century American writers should go about producing an authentic national literature. Each of the Melville selections demands a somewhat different strategy. What works best for me is not to teach Melville's writings together in a separate unit, but to group individual Melville pieces with texts by other authors on similar themes. For example, "Hawthorne and His Mosses" would make most sense to students in a unit on debates over literary nationalism and aesthetic theory, which could include Emerson's "The American Scholar,"

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History MELVILLE, HERMAN , author. Although Melville has been regarded throughout most of the twentieth century as one of America's most powerful literary artists, particularly for his masterpiece Moby-Dick, he was largely unrecognized in his lifetime. Born into a once-prominent family, Melville enlisted as a sailor on the whaler Acushnet in 1841. His experiences supplied him with raw materials for the sea narratives he later wrote. After four years at sea, Melville settled in New York and became associated with a group of editors and journalists seeking to foster a "home" literature. With the backing of editor Evert Duyckinck, Melville published his semiautobiographical sea adventure Typee in 1846, followed in 1847 by its sequel Omoo. His critical reception was as favorable as it would ever be. But even in these first reviews, critics condemned not only his enticing descriptions of Polynesian life and his attacks on American missionaries in the Pacific but less predictably, what they called his lack of "veracity"—a disinclination for realistic representation that suggested to some an intent to mislead his readers. Despite what he knew of his readership's intolerance for "flights of fancy," Melville then published a political allegory, Mardi
