  • Description: Whilst Howe has been compared with the postmodern Language poets, whose writing (amongst other things) challenges the lyrical/authorial "I" voice and emphasizes the materiality of language, her concentrated interest in history arguably distinguishes her from the language-based practices of her peers.2 Critics such as Marjorie Perloff, Peter Nicholls, and Kathleen Fraser have celebrated the ways that Howe combines scholarship and radical formal experiments, both in her interrogation of authority and power within the canon of literary history and in her determined attempts to find an adequate textual space to convey the (ignored or silenced) feminine perspective.3 Whilst some of Howe's works, such as Thorow4 and A Bibliography of the King's Boofy or, Eikon Basilike (1989),5 have attracted significant critical attention,6 there are relatively few essays focused on her long poem "Melville's Marginalia," a composite and intertextual work that stimulates our senses and renegotiates historical pathways to allow for the exploration of antinomian voices.7 The title is taken from Wilson Walker Cowen's two-volume compilation of the same name, which collates and orders the markings inscribed by Herman Melville in the margins of the books he owned and read.8 In this Harvard dissertation, Cowen has reproduced every marked page from Herman Melville's library - an extensive, immense antiquarian project that not only demonstrates the breadth of Melville's literary interests, but also attempts to set forth Melville's agreement or disagreement with the authors of the texts he owned and read.
