- W4210332543 abstract "Herman Melville’s Billy Budd, Sailor (An Inside Narrative) comes with a parenthetical subtitle, which invites the reader to ask in what sense this work is “an inside narrative.” At first glance, the answer seems obvious as this subtitle refers to the story of the otherwise closeted world of the naval ship of the Bellipotent and invites us inside the psychology of the handsome sailor, Billy Budd. In the early part of the narrative, the narrator claims that the story about to unfold is restricted to “the inner life of one particular ship and the career of an individual sailor.”1 Herman Melville, Billy Budd, Sailor and Other Uncompleted Writings, ed. G. Thomas Tanselle, Harrison Hayford, Hershel Parker, Robert Sandberg, and Alma MacDougall (Evanston, IL: Northwestern University Press, 2017), 11. Subsequent references to this edition appear parenthetically. Shari Goldberg observes that “Melville’s later works begin quietly … [which] suggest that Melville opens his narrative thinking by noticing the speechless entities that compose his fictions.” Shari Goldberg, Quiet Testimony: A Theory of Witnessing from Nineteenth-Century American Literature (New York: Fordham University Press, 2013), 87. Herman Melville, The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade, ed. G. Thomas Tanselle, Harrison Hayford, and Hershel Parker (Evanston, IL: Northwestern University Press, 1984), 11. Joyce A. Rowe observes, “As Melville had earlier demonstrated in ‘Bartleby’ and ‘Benito Cereno,’ political power and powerlessness are intimately linked to speech and silence; those who hold power exercise it through a combination of rhetorical and physical force.” Joyce A. Rowe, “The King’s Buttons: The Language of Law in Billy Budd,” Prospects: An Annual of American Cultural Studies 27 (2002): 279. Furthermore, these silent characters are juxtaposed with talkative characters. The volubility of Captain Delano in “Benito Cereno” and the lawyer-narrator in “Bartleby,” for instance, serves to accentuate the silent characters in Melville’s works, thereby according them a certain distinguished individuality." @default.
