Moby-Dick is frequently mentioned as a leading candidate for that elusive honorific, the Great American Novel. Unfortunately, it also has developed something of a reputation as a difficult book due to Melville's stylistic peculiarities and its immense scope. That's a shame, because there is so much to enjoy here: the tragedy of Ahab's obsession, the beauty of Melville's description of life at sea, and a surprising amount of humor.

Our goal in this course will be to uncover these pleasures. We will take it slowly, stop to appreciate the language, unpack the historical references and contexts, and most importantly of all, share our favorite Melvillian jokes with each other.
