Melville: Fashioning in Modernity presents a radically fresh approach to
Melville. Considering all of the major fiction, with particular attention to
lesser-known work, Stephen Matterson shows the representation of clothing
as central to some of Melville s major themes: the relation between private
and public identity; social inequality and how this is maintained; the
relation between power, justice and authority, and between the civilized
and the savage . Frequently clothing represents the malleability of identity
(its possibilities as well as its limitations), represents writing itself, as well as
becoming indicative of the crisis of modernity. Clothing becomes a trope for
Melville
s
representations of authorship and of his own scene of writing.
Melville: Fashioning in Modernity also encompasses identity in transition, making
use of the examination of modernity by theorists such as Anthony
Giddens,
as
well as on theories of figures such as the dandy. In contextualizing Melville
s
interest in clothing, a variety of other works and writers is considered; works
such as Robinson Crusoe and The Scarlet Letter, and novelists such as Fenimore
Cooper, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry James, Jack London and George Orwell
