摘要

“Herman Melville's Reading Characters” begins from the proposition that Redburn (1849), White-Jacket (1850), and Moby-Dick (1851) present three variations of a rhetorical experiment conducted by Herman Melville. The experiment: to fashion a character who tells the story of his own formation into the teller of that story. Each teller relates an adventure at sea as a working sailor and each casting is a story of formation. The premise of this study is that each narrator, Redburn, White-Jacket, Ishmael, “tells” his story only in so far as he “reads” it. Reading as such is both the principal activity taking place in each novel and the principal problem thematized by each novel. These reading characters stage reading episodes that duplicate, in advance, the complex operations that we ourselves practice as the reader of those episodes. This study concentrates on Melville's first two experiments. It is devoted to the ways in which Redburn and White-Jacket characterize themselves as the readers and writers of their tales. This devotion to Redburn and White-Jacket removes the author Herman Melville from the worlds of Redburn and White-Jacket, a removal that is enacted by the narratives themselves. Melville hands the reins to each narrator who in turn fashions his own story his own way. Redburn casts his story as a confessional or reminiscence of a seasoned sailor reading the adventure of his first voyage at sea. White-Jacket casts the story of his first adventure on a man-of-war as a cosmology, and critiques the world he anatomizes from the stance of one who knows the ropes. Ishmael combines certain traits of his predecessors, and his character and story produce the complex reading problems encountered in every critical struggle with that book. Though Melville's third experiment belongs here, this study does not present a reading of Moby-Dick. Characterizing Redburn and White-Jacket, exemplifying their readings in self-formation, and tracing out the implications of these readings prepares for the struggle with Melville's third reading character, Ishmael. Thus, this rhetorical study of Redburn and White-Jacket is a prolegomenon to the reading of Moby-Dick.
