Melville was not without his detractors, especially when he criticised certain ideas of Aristotle as inconsistent with the principles of natural and revealed religion.

 Guardian Unlimited Books | Review | Review: Melville by Andrew Delbanco
Andrew Delbanco's life of Herman Melville is beautifully shaped, lucid and shrewd as a psychological portrait of a tormented writer whose work and world were often at terrible odds.
Andrew Delbanco, a professor at Columbia and a well-known critic, has chosen a middle ground, artfully reading the fiction (and even Melville's late, ungainly poems) for evidence of the author's attitudes toward such things as his strained marriage to Lizzie Shaw, the daughter of a prominent Boston judge, or his own reputation.
Melville may, as Delbanco explains, have experienced a good deal of sexual confusion, suffering a degree of frustration that is difficult to understand in our age of polymorphous perversity (Freud's term).

 Andrew Melville, Religious and academic reformer
Like Knox, Melville was an ardent believer in a presbyterian government for the Church of Scotland, and directly opposed James VI’s plans for episcopacy.
In his most famous outburst, Melville told James that he was merely ‘God’s silly vassal’, and ‘not a king, nor a lord, nor a head, but a member’ of the kingdom of Christ in Scotland.
For James, revenge was sweet: he summoned Melville to London in 1606 and threw him in the Tower for five years.

 Melville by Andrew Delbanco
The grandson of Revolutionary War heroes, Melville was born into a family that in the fledgling republic had lost both money and status.
Delbanco charts Melville’s growth from the bawdy storytelling of Typee—the “labial melody” of his “indulgent captivity” among the Polynesians—through the spiritual preoccupations building up to Moby-Dick and such later works as Pierre, or the Ambiguities and The Confidence-Man, His Masquerade.
Andrew Delbanco is the author of The Death of Satan: How Americans Have Lost the Sense of Evil, Required Reading: Why Our American Classics Matter Now, and The Real American Dream: A Meditation on Hope, all of which were New York Times Notable Books.
