| Research Abstract |
Among the works of nineteenth-century American writers, the tales and records on Nantucket, a small island, isolated but not impossibly approachable, on the Atlantic signify nothing but intriguing aspects with the view to its history of migration and whaling. Many literati heard about or visited this island, and made their experience into the works, including Herman Melville's Moby Dick, Poe's The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, and the journals of Emerson and Thoreau. The examination of their works reveals romantic gaze into the island, although the island was famed for the whaling, which could contain ferocious and terrifying exposure.The reason why a lot of literati were nonetheless attracted to this island should be collateral to their mentality that cherishes isolation, and the generations of American culture have formulated political Isolationism in foreign affairs as well.
