520 Many writers in antebellum America sought to reinvent the
Bible, but no one, Ilana Pardes argues, was as insistent
as Melville on redefining biblical exegesis while doing
so. In "Moby-Dick," he not only ventured to fashion a
grand new inverted Bible in which biblical rebels and
outcasts assume center stage, but also aspired to comment
on every imaginable mode of biblical interpretation,
calling for a radical reconsideration of the politics of
biblical reception. In "Melville's Bibles," Pardes traces
Melville's response to a whole array of nineteenth-century
exegetical writings - literary scriptures, biblical
scholarship, Holy Land travel narratives, political
sermons, and women's bibles. She shows how Melville raised
with unparalleled verve the question of what counts as
Bible and what counts as interpretation.
