Melville's Mirrors: Literary Criticism And America's Most Elusive Author, Brian Yothers
Melville's Mirrors: Literary Criticism And America's Most Elusive Author, Brian Yothers
Brian Yothers
Herman Melville is among the most thoroughly canonized authors in American literature, and the body of criticism dealing with his writing is immense. There is, however, no standard volume on the history of Melville criticism. That a volume on this subject is timely and important is shown by the number of introductions and companions to Melville's work that have been published during the last few years (none of which focuses on the critical reception of Melville's works), as well as the steady stream of critical monographs and scholarly biographies that have been published on Melville since the 1920s. Melville's Mirrors …

'Desert Of The Blest': Poe's Anti-Representational Invocations Of The Near East, Brian Yothers
'Desert Of The Blest': Poe's Anti-Representational Invocations Of The Near East, Brian Yothers
Brian Yothers
Poe's poetry and fiction are full of cultural and religious references to the Near East. This essay suggests that Poe's invocations of the Near East are part of a deliberately anti-representational strategy for dealing with cultural difference that constitutes part of Poe's understanding of one of his most central concepts, the 'arabesque'. This anti-representational strategy is built on Poe's sympathetic reading of texts associated with the Near East, Islam, and Arab and Persian cultures.

Facing East, Facing West: Mark Twain's Following The Equator And Pandita Ramabai's The Peoples Of The United States, Brian Yothers
Facing East, Facing West: Mark Twain's Following The Equator And Pandita Ramabai's The Peoples Of The United States, Brian Yothers
Brian Yothers
Mark Twain's Following the Equator (1897), a narrative of a journey to the South Pacific, Australia, South Asia, and South Africa, has occupied a small but significant space in the consideration of Twain's wider career as both a travel writer and social critic. Twain's work has not, however, been considered in conjunction with the works of later nineteenth-century South Asian travelers in North America. The present article puts Twain's discussion of India and Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) in dialogue with Indian scholar and women's rights activist Pandita Ramabai's 1889 travelogue The Peoples of the United States.
