The Great American Novel Series: "Typee" by Herman Melville

“A high degree of refinement, however, does not seem to subdue our wicked propensities so much after all; and were civilization itself to be estimated by some of its results, it would seem perhaps better for what we call the barbarous part of the world to remain unchanged.” What makes Typee a great American novel? How does it compare to Melville's later works? Who influenced Melville's writings, and who did his writings influence? Join the NAS on October 25 at 2pm ET to find out! This webinar will feature Steven Olsen-Smith, Professor of English at Boise State University and General Editor of Melville's Marginalia Online, and Matthew Rebhorn, Professor of English at James Madison University and Executive Secretary of the Melville Society. The discussion will be moderated by David Randall, Director of Research at the National Association of Scholars.
