Copied Moby-Dick and Melvilles Anti-Slavery Allegory
Moby-Dick and Melvilles Anti-Slavery Allegory
This book unfurls and examines the anti-slavery allegory at the subtextual core of Herman Melvilles famed novel, Moby-Dick. Brian Pellar points to symbols and allusions in the novel such as the albinism of the famed whale, the Ship of State motif, Calhouns cords, the equator, Jonah, Narcissus, St. Paul, and Thomas Hobbes Leviathan. The work contextualizes these devices within a historical discussion of the Compromise of 1850 and subsequently strengthened Fugitive Slave Laws. Drawing on a rich variety of sources such as unpublished papers, letters, reviews, and family memorabilia, the chapters discuss the significance of these laws within Melvilles own life. After clarifying the hidden allegory interconnecting black slaves and black whales, this book carefully sheds the layers of a hidden meaning that will be too convincing to ignore for future readings: Moby-Dick is ultimately a novel that is intimately connected with questions of race, slavery, and the state.
