NP: Moby Dick

[kelber at mindspring.com]

Calling you, Ishmailian, but others should chime in.

Looking for recommendations of critical essays/papers on Moby Dick, in advance of a reread that, hopefully, will be more informed than the last one. I don't have a specific focus in mind - lit crit (not too jargon-y - I'm a civilian), psychological, philosophical, character studies, language, the theme of work, etc. Basically, anything anyone here has read that they found illuminating. The one criterion: must be available on line.
