All approaches welcome, from (to name just a few) biographical accounts of “dollars damn[ing]” Melville, to historicist work with Melville and industrial capitalism, to new formalist accounts of his textual economies, to transtemporal and/or transnational reception studies of Melville and his works as symbolic currency (Melville as money). Please email one-page CVs and 250-500 word abstracts by 20 December 2014 to Andrew Kopec at address listed below:
