  • Herman Melville's The Isle of the Cross

    Hershel ParkerARTICLEAmerican Literature1990

    HERMAN Melville's Isle of Cross does not appear in any iLl bibliography of his writings, but I will show here that it was title of a work he completed (almost surely as a book, not a short story) and that its subject (almost surely) was what we have long known as the story of Agatha. Had Melville not been prevented from publishing it we would have read writings of his mid-career in this sequence: Moby-Dict, Pierre, Isle of Cross, Israel Potter. I…

    Lawrance Thompson, Herman Melville et al.ARTICLEAmerican Literature1971

    Presented as narratives of his own South Sea experiences, Melville's first two books had roused incredulity in many readers. Their disbelief, he declared, had been main inducement in altering his plan for his third book, Mardi: and a Voyage Thither (1849). Melville wanted to exploit the rich poetical material of Polynesia and also to escape feeling irked, cramped, & fettered by a narrative of facts. I began to feel . . . a longing to plume my pin…
