The Secret Agent: The Agon(ie)s of the Word
Under his hat, worn with a slight backward tilt, his hair had been carefully brushed into respectful sleekness. 1 Tenniel's illustration of Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland supplies Conrad with model for Verloc's (and other anarchists') dandyism, though not without his consciousness of masculine fripperies in fashionable circles of London. Appropriately, Verloc later morosely ponders his failure to dynamite Greenwich…

The Melville Archetype
The Sins of the Fathers: Hawthorne's Psychological Themes
Surveying Hawthorne's entire career, from his earliest surviving stories through the romances left unfinished at his death, Frederick Crews defines the terms of Hawthorne's self-debate as revealed in his fiction. Hawthorne emerges from this study as a writer of acute psychological awareness. In an Afterword written for this edition, Crews interrogates his own argument with characteristic unsparingness. He candidly reassesses the theoretical commi…
Melville's Comedy of Faith
It is common knowledge that Melville wrote The as a kind of frame for a collection of magazine stories published under the title of The Piazza Tales.' Yet this effort has at most received only perfunctory critical attention. While admitting that it offers a number of interesting biographical parallels,2 I believe that it can stand on its own, not so much as a suggestive reflection of Melville's burdensome melancholy at the time, but rather as a w…

Notes on the Cant of the Telephone Confidence Man
Walden: The Wisdom of the Centaur
It is a mistake, I think, to read Walden as an historical work. It belongs to the nineteenth century only through the accident of having been written in time. Similarly it is not, except adventitiously, concerned with Thoreau the man in any contemporary sense. I mean by this that the book must be read on the ground and in the terms of its world: which is to say, (I use the phrase only because no other will serve.) the myth it embodies. To read it…
The Old Man and the Triple Goddess: "Melville's "The Haglets
The underlying significance of Melville's creative activities in the few years before his death is still obscure. And there seems little doubt that this state of affairs may be traced to our excessive preoccupation with Billy Budd. Merely to mention the novel in terms of any kind of clarification is to invite passionate but inconclusive argumentation. But one can see why this is so. Since the work is incomplete, in many places hardly more than a …
