The Value of Herman Melville
In The Value of Herman Melville, Geoffrey Sanborn presents Melville to us nei-
ther as a somber purveyor of dark truths nor as an ironist who has outthought us in
advance but as a quasi-maternal provider, a writer who wants more than anything
else to supply us with the means of enriching our experiences. In twelve brief
chapters, Sanborn examines the distinctive qualities of Melville s style — its dyna-
mism, its improvisatoriness, its intimacy with remembered or imagined events —
and shows how those qualities, once they have become a part of our equipment for
living, enable us to sink deeper roots into the world. Ranging across his career, but
focusing in particular on Moby~Dick, Bartleby, the Scrivener/ Benito Cereno,
and Billy Budd, Sanborn shows us a Melville who is animating rather than over-
awing, who encourages us to bring more of ourselves to the present and to care
more about the life that we share with others.
