| Summary: | Since the revival of interest in Herman Melville in the 1920s, commentators have noted the importance of religion for apprehending his work. From Nathalia Wright’s study of Melville’s biblical knowledge and allusions in her Melville’s Use of the Bible (1949) to H. Bruce Franklin’s provocative analysis of mythology in Moby-Dick in his The Wake of The Gods (1963), to William Hamilton’s theological reading in Melville and the Gods (1985), Melville’s place in the interdisciplinary space between literature and religion is at this point, nearly canonical. In her recent book Melville’s Bibles, Ilana Pardes adds to this ever-growing wealth of literature. |
