Both his grandfathers had been heroes of the
Revolutionary War, and when his less distinguished father died—a failure in the haberdashery business—the young Melville was compelled to fight his own resentment at being overtaken by men of lesser heritage. Among the novels that preceded
Moby-Dick, several were records of this struggle:
Redburn (1849), in which a young man journeys down the Hudson from his once-glorious family seat and endures the embarrassment of being unable to pay his passage;
White Jacket (1850), in which another gentle youth enters a mariners’ world, where the, only measure of status is competence in the rigging. These books were retrospective meditations on Melville’s years of wandering—first aboard a merchant vessel that took him to Europe, later as a crewman on a United States frigate in the Pacific.
