Description
The Silence of Bartleby by Dan McCall A fresh perspective on Herman Melville's story, exploring how it has been interpreted over the years. Dan McCall argues that in recent analyses, the text itself may be lost in favour of critics' own concerns. This book offers a new reading of "Bartleby, The Scrivener", combining close readings with an analysis of commentary from four decades. The complete text of the story is included as an appendix, inviting readers to experience it on its own terms.
