Description
After isolating and defining the ways in which three of the early works --$ Typee, Reduburn,$and$ White Jacket$--contributed to Melville's progress toward an idea of transcendence, Sherrill assesses the genesis, emergence, and shape of this idea as it is articulated more fully in$ Moby-Dick,$and then moves to$ Pierre$and$ Billy Budd$to see how the idea became a controlling factor in Melville's mature vision of life. This study stands as an interpretive alternative to critical accounts of Melville's quarrel with "God".
