À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Up from the Depths tells the interconnected stories of two of the most important writers in American history--the novelist and poet Herman Melville (1819-1891) and one of his earliest biographers, the literary critic and historian Lewis Mumford (1895-1990). Deftly cutting back and forth between the writers, Aaron Sachs reveals the surprising resonances between their lives, work, and troubled times--and their uncanny relevance in our own age of crisis.The author of Moby-Dick was largely forgotten for several decades after his death, but Mumford helped spearhead Melville's revival in the aftermath of World War I and the 1918-1919 flu pandemic, when American culture needed a forebear with a suitably dark vision. As Mumford's career took off and he wrote books responding to the machine age, urban decay, world war, and environmental degradation, it was looking back to Melville's confrontation with crises such as industrialization, slavery, and the Civil War that helped Mumford to see his own era clearly. Mumford remained obsessed with Melville, ultimately helping to canonize him as America's greatest tragedian. But largely forgotten today is one of Mumford's key insights--that Melville's darkness was balanced by an inspiring determination to endure.Amid today's foreboding over global warming, racism, technology, pandemics, and other crises, Melville and Mumford remind us that we've been in this struggle for a long time. To rediscover these writers today is to rediscover how history can offer hope in dark times.

Reviews

"Mr. Sachs has written a sort of palimpsest of biography itself, showing how, generation by generation, we begin to see through the traffic between past and present that leads to the rediscovery of figures like Melville and Mumford, who wanted for themselves and their progeny (which includes us) a recognition that going backward can also be a way of going forward." ---Carl Rollyson, New York Sun, "Sachs deftly draws our attention mutually to these two great writers, and the resonances between their work, one in literature and the other in urban planning and a hope for civilized progress." ---Donald Brackett, Critics at Large, "Excellent. . . . a braided account of Melville and Mumford, aimed at exploring the strange resonance between their times and ours." ---Daniel Immerwahr, Slate, "An inspired study of [Melville and Mumford], juxtaposing their lives and works in alternating chapters. . . . What draws Sachs to [these writers] is the dialectic in each between continuity and disruption, confidence and despair." ---Steven G. Kellman, American Scholar, "A rich double portrait of Herman Melville and Lewis Mumford. . . . [Sachs's] voice is exact, good-humored and passionate--all the qualities we need in our own dark times." ---James Marcus, Times Literary Supplement, An incisive homage to the continuing relevance of two towering writers. . . . A well-informed, thoughtful dual biography., " Up From the Depths takes up the dialectic method so central to Melville's writing for its unique investigation of parallel lives. . . . Fittingly, Mr. Sachs's chapters interweave periods of the two men's lives, creating a dappled effect of shared shadows and light. Certain biographical overlaps are particularly striking." ---Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal, "[Sachs's] voice is exact, good-humored, and passionate--all the qualities we need in our own dark times." ---James Marcus, Times Literary Supplement, "[Aaron Sachs] weaves the two writers' contrapuntal historical dialog into a single narrative, a reading experience enhanced by Sachs' fluent, often-lyrical writing skills." ---Kevin Lynch, Culture Currents, Fascinating. . . . In shining a light on Mumford's efforts during the 'Melville Revival' of the mid-1900s, Sachs makes a strong case for the rediscovery of Mumford's own writing. . . . A well-executed literary history., "[Sachs] weaves the two writers' contrapuntal historical dialog into a single narrative, a reading experience enhanced by Sachs' fluent, often-lyrical writing skills." ---Kevin Lynch, Culture Currents, "[A] unique investigation of parallel lives. . . . Sachs's chapters interweave periods of the two men's lives, creating a dappled effect of shared shadows and light. Certain biographical overlaps are particularly striking." ---Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal, "Sach's parallel biography is more than just a compendium of information. . . . [ Up from the Depths] transforms our reading into a lived experience, inspiring us to rediscover connections with and between the two kindred spirits and renew our energy to confront our present concerns, with all their difficulties and uncertainties." ---Maki Sadahiro, Leviathan, This fascinating book explores the connection between two American writers, novelist Herman Melville (1819-91) and Lewis Mumford (1895-1990), the novelist's biographer. In brief, lively, and engaging chapters, Sachs . . . alternates back and forth between the two men, detailing many correspondences in their lives and work despite the years that separated them. . . . Sachs provides sensitive analysis of text and context, offers a wealth of resources in his bibliography, and models how historians and critics can pose questions that continue to matter., "Sachs manages a set of impressive balancing acts: matching scholarly diligence with fluent, stylish prose; admiration for his subjects with an alertness to their flaws. Up from the Depths packs multiple books into one: an introduction to Mumford's thought, an innovative study of Melville, and a history of the modern age through the eyes of two uniquely perceptive writers." ---Madoc Cairns, The Observer, "Sachs has written a sort of palimpsest of biography itself, showing how, generation by generation, we begin to see through the traffic between past and present that leads to the rediscovery of figures like Melville and Mumford, who wanted for themselves and their progeny (which includes us) a recognition that going backward can also be a way of going forward." ---Carl Rollyson, New York Sun, "Excellent. . . . A braided account of Melville and Mumford, aimed at exploring the strange resonance between their times and ours." ---Daniel Immerwahr, Slate, "Sachs's 'willingness to flash back and forth in time' leaves readers with a subtle, poignant, understanding of the relationship between the past, present, and future. Sachs also offers his readers a tether for those who feel unmoored and alone as a result of modernity. By telling 'the story of [these] two modern wanderers' Sachs shows us the possibility of connection despite the years and the changing circumstances that separate [Melville and Mumford]." ---Natalie Fuehrer Taylor, Law & Liberty, "Sachs manages a set of impressive balancing acts: matching scholarly diligence with fluent, stylish prose; admiration for his subjects with an alertness to their flaws. Up from the Depths packs multiple books into one: an introduction to Mumford's thought, an innovative study of Melville, and a history of the modern age through the eyes of two uniquely perceptive writers." ---Madoc Cairns, Observer, "This fascinating book explores the connection between two American writers, novelist Herman Melville (1819-91) and Lewis Mumford (1895-1990), the novelist's biographer. In brief, lively, and engaging chapters, Sachs (history and American studies, Cornell) alternates back and forth between the two men, detailing many correspondences in their lives and work despite the years that separated them. . . .Sachs provides sensitive analysis of text and context, offers a wealth of resources in his bibliography, and models how historians and critics can pose questions that continue to matter." ---J.W. Miller, Choice, "Aaron Sachs's Up from the Depths , [is] a rich double portrait of Herman Melville and Lewis Mumford." ---James Marcus, Times Literary Supplement, "An inspired study of [Melville and Mumford], juxtaposing their lives and works in alternating chapters. . . . reminiscent of Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans , in which Plutarch traces enlightening parallels between Demosthenes and Cicero, Alexander and Julius Caesar, Alcibiades and Coriolanus, and other classical pairings." ---Steven G. Kellman, American Scholar
