Research Abstract

I have researched geographical, political, historical and aesthetical meanings of the Far East and Southern Islands mentioned directly or alluded figuratively in Herman Melville's literary works, and have clarified how Melville takes advantage of and at the same time subverts the cultural and social rhetoric of Orientalism in nineteenth-century America. Though "the Orient" in the nineteenth century had been academically considered to signify the Near East, I have expanded the definition of the Orient to include the Far East, and have reinterpreted some works of Melville's in this new historical frame of reference.
