This new cycle for Leviathan corresponds with new terms for the leadership of The Melville Society as a whole, and I want to pause for a moment in this column to thank our Society leadership from the least three years, as this last three-year cycle has posed challenges of the sort that scholarly societies and journals do not routinely encounter, not least because of the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic has set the terms for our work in many ways since March of 2020. We have a great deal to celebrate as we begin our new cycle, from a highly successful conference in Paris that constitutes much of the subject matter for this issue to the fact that we are now celebrating our twenty-fifth anniversary as a journal, as indicated by the twenty-fifth anniversary logo on our cover designed by Karen Coughlin in consultation with Mary Alice Fallon Yeskey. The Melville Society has benefited immensely from the commitment of its officers and committee members, not only to keeping the Society going, but also to ensuring that the growth and development of the Society and journal continue. I want to begin by thanking our officers and committee members from the last three years. Our three presidents, Samuel Otter, Timothy Marr, and Rodrigo Lazo, have all helped to ensure the strength of the organization during the pandemic and have gone beyond the traditionally ceremonial role of president in their contributions to the flourishing of The Melville Society. Our Executive Secretary of the last three years, Matthew Rebhorn, faced the challenging situation of stepping into his role at the beginning of the pandemic and offering leadership to a Society that was only able to resume meeting in person in the middle of 2022. Our Associate Secretary for Programs and Conferences, Meredith Farmer, had instituted a travel grant program in 2019 that she not only maintained, but expanded during the pandemic years, greatly aiding scholars seeking to travel to our 2022 conference in Paris. Many senior members of the Society contributed generously to the travel grant program, enabling the conference to be as broadly inclusive as possible. Zachary Hutchins, our Treasurer for the last three years, also stepped into an unexpectedly challenging situation and responded with grace and determination in addressing the Society’s finances. Robert K. Wallace and Christopher Sten maintained a flourishing Melville Society Cultural Project throughout the pandemic years, laying [End Page 1] a foundation for continued contributions by the MSCP. Kelly Ross, our at-large member in the Executive Committee was consistently a sharp and thoughtful contributor to our discussions, as Jennifer Greiman, her predecessor in that role, moved on to doing superb work as Leviathan’s new Associate Editor.

Photo credit Mary K. Bercaw Edwards. The Thirteenth International Melville Society Conference, “Melville’s Energies: Aesthetics, Politics, Ecologies,” held in Paris, France, on June 27–30, 2022, was a resounding success. The conference was hosted at Sorbonne Université and Université Sorbonne Nouvelle situated in the Quartier Latin, which Melville explored during his 1849 trip to Paris, on days 1 and 4, and at Université de Paris on days 2 and 3. The organizing committee—Thomas Constantinesco (Sorbonne Université), Hélène Cottet (Université de Lille), Michael Jonik (University of Sussex), Ronan Ludot-Vlasak (Université Sorbonne Nouvelle), Édouard Marsoin (Université de Paris), and [End Page 51] Cécile Roudeau (Université de Paris)—did an outstanding job of planning, organizing, and running the conference. Participants felt much gratitude to all involved for such a rich and rewarding four days. In this issue of Leviathan, we are honored to include the plenary addresses of Jennifer Greiman and Jeffrey Insko. We also present four conference reports and a photo gallery. (More photos are available at <https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rejkwcg9y4dgsl5/AAAckLu-7bklK2VlhE_eYtSsa?dl=0>.) We wish to thank the plenary speakers for their engaging talks; Alex Benson, Tony McGowan, Christopher Rice, and Maki Sadahiro for their conference reports; and Alan Van Brackel for his wonderful photography. William Reese’s extensive Melville collection went up for auction in September at Christie’s. Barbara Schneider attended the last day of the auction and sent the following short piece and images. Thoughts on viewing the Herman Melville Collection of William S. Reese by Barbara Schneider, a serial participant in the Moby-Dick Marathon in New Bedford. “One of the pleasures of collecting Melville has been getting to know the scholarly community who study, a pleasantly obsessed group of people. I am fortunate in having sufficient material of interest that they want to come see me—running a very small private research library is one of the most enjoyable aspects of book collecting.” So said the late William Reese in a 1993 essay in the Gazette of the Grolier Club, detailing how he assembled his impressive collection of Melville material (William S. Reese, “Collecting Herman Melville,” The Gazette of the Grolier Club, 1993 <https://www.williamreesecompany.com/pages/articles/49/collecting-herman-melville>). That collection was auctioned online last September [2022], with sales from the auction totaling $2,783,214. Now that the books have been disbursed to dealers, collectors, and institutions, the print catalogue and the online description of the lots on Christie’s website (<https://onlineonly.christies.com","PeriodicalId":42245,"journal":{"name":"Leviathan-A Journal of Melville Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135185327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
