Abstract
A J o u r n A l o f M e l v i l l e S t u d i e S 141 takes on the management of both skepticism and religious belief, and both are central to the herb doctor chapters. the irony the novel uncovers is how, in a secular society that champions skepticism, there is not a robust language for the confidence necessary to everyday interactions. conspiracy theory is both a symptom of this irony—and its end result.
