Intro to "Bartleby, the Scrivener" with Dr. Bernstein

In this video, I provide you with valuable introductory background information on Herman Melville's "Bartleby, the Scrivener" (1853). I also refer back to the 2-part video series on American Romanticism, to Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Artist of the Beautiful," the Hudson River School, the American Renaissance, and Leo Marx. http://www.getyourselfintocollege.com
