Moby Dick: Book Discussion & Library Display

You're in Luck!
Tarleton’s Bibliophiles Anonymous group is getting together to discuss Moby Dick and everyone's invited:
  • Thurs., August 2
  • 4-6 p.m.
  • Nursing Building lobby
Consider joining the conversation.  It should be a treat.  Contact Hank Jones (wjones@tarleton.edu) or Marcus Parks (marcus.parks@go.tarleton.edu) if you'd like more information.

Crystal Money, Library Reference Assistant, has created a display of Melville's works and books by others discussing his works.

If you see something that interests you, check it out! All you need is your Texan Card.

  • Want to read critical reviews of Moby Dick?
  • Looking for published articles about Melville's works?
How Lucky Can You Get?
The library subscribes to several databases that offer critical essays, explanations, and discussions of Melville's works (i.e.Literature Criticism Online, Gale Literary Database,  JSTOR, Project Muse, etc.).  Plus, you can use the library's Discovery tool to simultaneously search most of the library's databases.
Just go to the library's database page, choose a database (use your NTNET login when off-campus), and search for Melville and/or his works.  You're sure to find plenty that interests you.

If all these opportunities aren't enough to satisfy your Moby Dick cravings, you can listen to the novel online with Librivox's streaming audiobook.

Enjoy!
