Description: Inscrutable Malice by Jonathan A. Cook Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Though "Moby-Dick" is one of the most-discussed and most-read works of American literature, the influence of the Bible has been overlooked in many contemporary studies of the novel. This book illuminates Melvilles abiding preoccupation with the problem of evil and the pervasive role of the Bible in shaping his iconic work. Publisher Description In Inscrutable Malice, Jonathan A. Cook expertly illuminates Melvilles abiding preoccupation with the problem of evil and the dominant role of the Bible in shaping his best-known novel. Drawing on recent research in the fields of biblical studies, the history of religion, and comparative mythology, Cook provides a new interpretation of Moby-Dick that places Melvilles creative adaptation of the Bible at the center of the work.Cook identifies two ongoing concerns in the narrative in relation to their key biblical sources: the attempt to reconcile the goodness of God with the existence of evil, as dramatized in the book of Job; and the discourse of the Christian end-times involving the final destruction of evil, as found in the apocalyptic books and eschatological passages of the Old and New Testaments.With his detailed reading of Moby-Dick in relation to its most important source text, Cook greatly expands the readers understanding of the moral, religious, and mythical dimensions of the novel. Both accessible and erudite, Inscrutable Malice will appeal to scholars, students, and enthusiasts of Melvilles classic whaling narrative. Author Biography Jonathan A. Cook is author of Satirical Apocalypse. He has published numerous articles and reviews on the writings of Melville, Hawthorne, Poe, Irving, and other nineteenth-century American authors. He lives and teaches in Northern Virginia. Details ISBN 0875804640 ISBN-13 9780875804644 Title Inscrutable Malice Author Jonathan A.
