Abstract
abstract:This essay reads Herman Melville's Israel Potter by attending to the eponymous character's feeling of loneliness as an exile, which compels an examination of the relationship between individual and community. Building on Jean-Luc Nancy's concept of "inoperative community," which emerges between the dead and the living, I argue that the community proposed in Israel Potter is informed by the belatedness that escapes containment by a political institution.
