    • Résumé :
      Redburn: His First Voyage is the fourth book by the American writer Herman Melville, first published in London in 1849. The book is semi-autobiographical and recounts the adventures of a refined youth among coarse and brutal sailors and the seedier areas of Liverpool. Melville wrote Redburn in less than ten weeks. While one scholar describes it as arguably his funniest work, scholar F. O. Matthiessen calls it the most moving of its author's books before Moby-Dick. Melville referred to Redburn and his next book White-Jacket as two jobs which I have done for money-being forced to it as other men are to sawing wood. It was reviewed favorably in all the influential publications, American and British, with many critics hailing it as Melville's return to his original style. The critics were divided along national lines when reviewing the scene in Launcelots Hey, the British dubbing it improbable, the Americans powerful. In 1884 William Clark Russell, the most popular writer of sea stories in his generation, praised the book's force and accuracy in print. He also sent Melville a personal letter where, among other items, he said I have been reading your Redburn for the third or fourth time and have closed it more deeply impressed with the descriptive power that vitalises every page. John Masefield would later single the book out as his favorite of Melville's works. When Redburn was praised, Melville wrote in his journal, I, the author, know [it] to be trash, & wrote it to buy some tobacco with. He later complained: What I feel most moved to write, that is banned-it will not pay. Yet, altogether, write the other way I cannot. So the product is a final hash, and all my books are botches.

      Biographie:
      Herman Melville[a] (1819 - 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer and poet of the American Renaissance period. His best known works include Typee (1846), a romantic account of his experiences in Polynesian life and his whaling novel Moby-Dick (1851). His work was almost forgotten during his last thirty years. His writing draws on his experience at sea as a common sailor, exploration of literature and philosophy, and engagement in the contradictions of American society in a period of rapid change. Melville developed a complex, baroque style: the vocabulary is rich and original, a strong sense of rhythm infuses the elaborate sentences, the imagery is often mystical or ironic and the abundance of allusion extends to Scripture, myth, philosophy, literature and the visual arts.
