Paper Summary:

The paper reviews the themes, conflicts, symbols and characterization in Melville's novel "Billy Budd" that relates the different elements in the novel to ideas of the Enlightenment.

From the Paper:

"During the Age of the Enlightenment, Gay maintains that the men of the Enlightenment united on a vastly ambitious program, a program of secularism, humanity, cosmopolitanism and freedom. From a growing reliance on science and reason over faith and emotion to formation of political philosophies that asserted a balance between individual and State rights, many of the ideas associated with the Enlightenment can be found in a reading of Herman Melville's "Billy Budd.""
