From Hofstra University
comes the Melville Electronic Library (MEL): "a born-digital critical
archive that features scholarly editions of all versions of all works by
American poet and novelist Herman Melville." Here, literature scholars and
fans of Moby-Dick will find a growing collection of Melville resources
organized into three main parts: archive, editions, and projects, with each
section building upon the preceding one. The archive offers visitors direct
access to the project's entire collection of texts and images, which are then
used in conjunction with MELCat, the project's cataloging software, to create
the scholarly editions of Melville's works featured in the editions section.
The projects section invites visitors to draw upon the archive and editions to
create new scholarship. As of this writing, visitors to MEL can find material
such as images from Melville's personal collection of art prints, letters and
correspondence, and "fluid-text" versions of Moby-Dick, Battle-Pieces,
and Billy Budd. Begun in 2009 and slated for completion in 2030, this
project is directed by John Bryant, Professor Emeritus of English at Hofstra
University. The Melville Electronic Library is continually adding to its
content, so those interested should revisit this resource at a later date
