Abstract
In my 4,700-word review essay "Hershel Parker on Herman Melville, and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I discuss three works by Parker: (1) his 1992 first volume of his massive two-volume biography of Melville (from 1819 to 1851), (2) his 2002 second volume (from 1851 to 1891), and (3) his 2008 "Foreword" to the 2008 500-page edition of Melville's long centennial poem Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land. To discuss certain points Parker makes pertaining to Melville, I draw on the thought of the American Jesuit literary scholar Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955) and the American Jesuit Melville scholar Joseph G. Knapp (1924-1987; Ph.D. in English, University of Minnesota, 1962), both of whom I had as teachers at Saint Louis University, the Jesuit university in St. Louis, Missouri.
