Abstract
This study examines Emerson's influence on Melville's famous work, Moby-Dick. It demonstrates Melville's deep concern and keen interest in Emerson's concept of language and transcendentalism and documents his changing attitude toward key Emersonian concepts. Melville questions and interprets Emerson's ideas of language, self-reliance and explores in detail Emerson's way of seeing nature and the world. Since Emerson's epistemology and ontology are epitomized in his essays, Melville interprets them and expresses his response in Moby-Dick. In this process he suggests the ways in which both men were geniuses of their times and possessed "a correspondent coloring."As generations of critics have noticed, Emerson's influence on Melville's work is prominent and pervasive, but it is also, at times implicit and ambiguous. In my paper, I explore the way in which Melville at once acknowledges Emerson's influence and calls a number of his crucial concepts into question. Central here are Emerson's theories of perception and interpretation and Melville's suspicious reading of Emerson's idea of language and the world.
