Melville’s Black Whale

La Baleine Noire de Melville
Comment expliquer le changement du titre de l'édition américaine de l'ouvrage de Melville par rapport à l'édition anglaise publiée à peine trois semaines plus tôt ? Pourquoi La Baleine acquiert-elle un nom pour devenir Moby-Dick ; or, The Whale ? De nombreux indices de ce livre initiatique qui foisonne d'erreurs intentionnelles font penser que Melville aurait eu des raisons profondes. Moby-Dick est en réalité une baleine noire et non blanche, une baleine franche et non un cachalot, ce qui a des implications fondamentales pour l'identité de la jeune nation américaine.
