Newton Arvin points out that only superficially the books after Mardi seem as if Melville’s writing went back to the vein of his first two books. In reality, his movement “was not a retrograde but a spiral one”, and while Redburn and White-Jacket may lack the spontaneous, youthful charm of his first two books, they are “denser in substance, richer in feeling, tauter, more complex, more connotative in texture and imagery”.Melville’s early works were “increasingly baroque in style, and with Moby-Dick Melville’s vocabulary had grown superabundant. Bezanson calls it an “immensely varied style”. According to critic Warner Berthoff, three characteristic uses of language can be recognized. First, the exaggerated repetition of words, as in the series “pitiable,” “pity,” “pitied,” and “piteous” (Ch. 81, “The Pequod Meets the Virgin”). A second typical device is the use of unusual adjective-noun combinations, as in “concentrating brow” and “immaculate manliness . A third characteristic is the presence of a participial modifier to emphasize and to reinforce the already established expectations of the reader, as the words preluding and foreshadowinge which fuses imagery and emotion.
