Abstract:The present article tells a previously untold story about Herman Melville’s old shipmate, Richard Tobias Greene, who led a varied career after returning home from the Marquesas. He moved to Sandusky, Ohio to continue his career as a telegraph operator and manager, but while in Sandusky, he became interested in selling magazines and established R. T. Greene’s Periodical Depot. Greene worked hard to bring the latest periodicals to Sandusky, helping to foster a lively magazine culture in the city. His public presence behind the counter of his periodical depot gave the local papers the opportunity to mention his name often and recall his role as “Toby of Typee.”
摘要:本文讲述了赫尔曼·梅尔维尔的老船友理查德·托拜厄斯·格林(Richard Tobias Greene)的故事，他从马克萨斯群岛回国后从事了各种各样的职业。他搬到了俄亥俄州的桑达斯基，继续他作为电报操作员和经理的职业生涯，但在桑达斯基期间，他对销售杂志产生了兴趣，并建立了R. T. Greene的期刊仓库。格林努力工作，把最新的期刊带到桑达斯基，帮助在这个城市培养一种活跃的杂志文化。他在期刊仓库的柜台后面公开露面，使当地报纸有机会经常提到他的名字，回忆起他作为“泰比的托比”的角色。

Abstract:This essay proposes a relationship between the work of Ralph Ellison and Herman Melville that cannot be captured by terms such as reference, allusion, or influence. Instead both writers are engaged in a common endeavor to reimagine what it might mean for literature to be about democracy beyond modes of representational realism. Ranging across both authors’ fictional and critical writings, I trace a series of material figures that connect Ellison and Melville and reveal a shared experimentation with non-referential modes of figuration and forms of incompletion through which both sought to produce a radically democratic aesthetics.

Abstract:Walter Bezanson’s “Discussions,” in Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land, identifies 258 biblical allusions in the poem. Subsequent scholarship has identified twenty-three more, but there remain at least 120 further biblical allusions that have not been noted in the literature. While in some instances it is no doubt the case that an allusion was deliberately omitted as being too obvious to mention, there remain at least 90 cases in which a significant allusion appears to have been genuinely overlooked. In addition, a number of Bezanson’s identifications are incomplete or in need of correction. This paper aims to provide a needed supplement to Bezanson’s catalogue of biblical allusions in Clarel.

Abstract:Informed by recent work in the Energy and Environmental Humanities, this essay considers two forms of extraction and their literary representations or manifestations: first, material extraction, like the mining of valuable minerals and the various processes for taking fossil fuels from the earth, and secondly, extracts, or the practice of literary extraction, such as copying, excerpting, borrowing, and reproducing. The former, of course, is violent, exploitative, instrumentalist, and, we now know all too well, unsustainable and ultimately self-defeating. The latter, by contrast, is playful, generous, generative, and renewable—and finds its apogee in the “Extracts” that Melville assembles and presents as preface to Moby-Dick. Thinking about these two forms of extraction together, the essay suggests, can help get us beyond conceptualizing extraction and extractivism, the primary causes of our current planetary emergency, only in terms of exhaustion, depletion, and scarcity and their unappealing consequences, austerity, sacrifice, and self-denial.
