The life of a scrivener is an existence resigned to the handwritten copying of law documents. One day something clicks in Bartleby, and his simple reply to everything is: “I prefer not to.” Herman Melville, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.  Welcome to this Vintage Episode of The Classic Tales Podcast.

New stories are coming your way on Friday.  Keep an ear open for our Kickstarter for The Golden Triangle – the seventh novel in the Arsène Lupin series. We'll let you know when we're ready to kick off.  Today's story was published anonymously in 1853. Melville was in a bit of financial straits at the time, since his last two novels, Moby Dick and Pierre, didn't sell well at all.  Melville's major source of inspiration for the story was an advertisement for a new book, The Lawyer's Story, by James A. Maitland. This advertisement included the complete first chapter, which started: "In the summer of 1843, having an extraordinary quantity of deeds to copy, I engaged, temporarily, an extra copying clerk, who interested me considerably, in consequence of his modest, quiet, gentlemanly demeanor, and his intense application to his duties." Melville biographer Hershel Parker said nothing else in the chapter besides this "remarkably evocative sentence" was notable. It's never directly addressed why Bartleby acts the way he does, and the author has left it open to interpretation. Many critics posit that his behavior is due to depression.  And now, Bartleby, the Scrivener, by Herman Melville Follow this link to become a monthly supporter:   Follow this link to subscribe to our YouTube Channel:   Follow this link to subscribe to the Arsène Lupin Podcast:   Follow this link to follow us on Instagram:   Follow this link to follow us on Facebook:

Vi ser på, hvordan karrierelede og prekær udbrændthed tematiseres i populærkulturen ­- ikke mindst på internettet, hvor personlige beretninger om det at sige op, lade være, sove lure og yde selvomsorg ses som en politisk modstandskamp.Litteratur nævnt i programmet: ‘Hyldest til lediggang' af Bertrand Russell (1932), Atlas, (2016) ‘Bartleby - The Scrivener' af Herman Melville (1853). ‘Roden til alt ondt' af Eskil Halberg, Forlaget Nemo, 2017 ‘Det nye mig' af Halle Butler, Forlager Harpyie, 2021 ‘Bullshit Jobs' af David Graeber, Simon & Schuster, 2018 ‘Pseudoarbejde' af Dennis Nørmark og Anders Fogh Jensen, Gyldendal, 2018 ‘Do What You Love: And Other Lies About Success and Happiness' af Miya Tokumitso, Simon & Schuster 2015 ‘The New Prophets of Capital' af Nicole Aschoff, Verso 2015.

We would prefer not to write a description for this episode… but here's one anyway!Today's episode is a re:vival of our re:read series, where we create dramatic interpretive readings of short fiction with contemporary political and cultural relevance. In this installment, inspired by our recent conversation with Dr. Kendall Phillips on “rhetorics of refusal,” Calvin, Ben, and Alex bring to life the classic Herman Melville story “Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street,” originally published in Putnam's Monthly magazine in 1853. This story documents the tribulations of a Wall Street lawyer who hires a morose figure named Bartleby to work for him as a scrivener. Bartleby quickly turns from an industrious copy-writer to a passively resisting automaton, whose only response to any request is simply: “I would prefer not to.” As the fallout from Bartleby's absurdly principled behavior continues to unfold, the narrator finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about social life, language, and labor.Join our crew of voice actors - Calvin as the narrator, Ben taking the role of the eponymous Bartleby, and Alex playing various minor characters - as we traverse this darkly comic tale of 19th-century alienation and absurdism, scored with period-specific music to accentuate the drama. Our dramatic reading is followed by a reflection on some of the story's themes and implications: the literary works and political actors that “Bartleby” presaged, its critique of alienated (and alienating) labor, the co-optation of refusal rhetorics under neoliberal capitalism, and the affordances of individual vs. collective resistance in social and political movements.Accessible transcript of “Bartleby, the Scrivener” from Project Gutenberg:https://www.gutenberg.org/files/11231/11231-h/11231-h.htmMusic featured in this episode

Melville's “Bartleby the Scrivener” is subtitled a “Story of Wall St.,” yet there is almost nothing in it of the bustle of city life, and entirely nothing in it of the hustle of the trading floor. The story's walls block out the streets, serving on the one hand as a container for a colorful assortment of human Xerox machines, on the other as a blank projection screen for the reveries of a man who seems to quietly rebel against the very concept of imitation. Can we continue to live and work, if we strongly prefer to do nothing that is derivative? What happens to our aspirations, if we come to fully appreciate the gravity of fate? Could we continue to tell our own stories, if we were liberated from all idiosyncrasies of character? Wes & Erin analyze.

“I would prefer not to.” In their simplicity and politeness, these five words illustrate a story of passive resistance that will both move you and leave you searching for answers. You may have even uttered the line yourself at work. "Bartleby, the Scrivener, A Story of Wall-Street," was published in Putnam's magazine in November and December 1853 by Herman Melville. It is centered around the dehumanization of Bartleby the scrivener, the nineteenth-century equivalent of a photocopy machine.  Sound intriguing? If you’ve ever read Moby Dick, you’ll know the more profound Melville gets, the more elusive the solutions he arrives at.  Tune in to this week’s episode for a fascinating discussion on this eerily aching short story and one of the most enigmatic sentences in American literature.

What composes the personality of the lawyer/narrator in Bartleby? Why does he seem to be so full of contradictions and questionable actions? Freud’s theories may be able to explain
