THE TREADLE OF THE LOOM: Of useful false dichotomies
http://thetreadleoftheloom.blogspot.com/2011/12/of-useful-false-dichotomies.html
THE TREADLE OF THE LOOM. Monday, December 5, 2011. Of useful false dichotomies. Critics seem to split into two camps: those who read. As part of the Western tragic tradition, a camp that notably includes Charles Olson and Hershal Parker, and those that read. As part of a legendary epic tradition, a camp whose strongest voice is Bruce Franklin, the student of the group's founder, Yvor Winters. These camps do love to spar.

THE TREADLE OF THE LOOM. Thursday, December 1, 2011. Bruce Franklin, Vishnu and Melvillle's Humor. Wake of the Gods. Not one now to mock his own grinning! No one mocks that which his Creator may mean more than Poor Ishmael. Yes, Bruce, Melville ridicules, and has Ishmael ridicule, that which he might hold dear - and he does it all the time.

THE TREADLE OF THE LOOM: The Revival
http://thetreadleoftheloom.blogspot.com/2011/12/revival_4310.html
THE TREADLE OF THE LOOM. Friday, December 16, 2011. Was a raft of fairly interesting books. Let's look at a few. Raymond Weaver is always mentioned first. His 1921 biography of Melville, Herman Melville: Mariner and Mystic. In 1924 as part of an edition of the. Complete Works of Herman Melville. Put out by the London publisher Constable. Weaver, however much he desired to do a complete biography and collect the complete works, was completely entralled by. But it is a great book, a very great book, the gr...

THE TREADLE OF THE LOOM: Why People Don't Finish Moby Dick and How to Avoid It
http://thetreadleoftheloom.blogspot.com/2011/11/why-people-dont-finish-moby-dick-and.html
THE TREADLE OF THE LOOM. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Why People Don't Finish Moby Dick and How to Avoid It. In preparation for this book, I was thinking about what makes Moby Dick hard for many people, and I come up with three big reading barriers to the book, none of which is difficult to overcome. One is Melville's tone. He's the guy who you can't quite figure out and treat a bit warily - is he joking or is he serious? Is he trying to make a fool of me? He wants us to wade through those? Review of Wh...

http://thetreadleoftheloom.blogspot.com/2012/03/anchors-away.html
THE TREADLE OF THE LOOM. Saturday, March 10, 2012. Ahab spent but little time at home before heading back to sea, seeking to satisfy his megalomanic obsessions. And so I too seem lured to sea too soon. Redburn is now underway. A story of a boy who grew up in a Hudson River village only to be lured by the sea and foreign travel, a contemporary critic praised the book for showing off Melville's narrative prowess without displaying signs of his "anti-religious temper". We'll see, we'll see. There was an err...
