This 18,000-line philosophical poem has a protagonist named Clarel, an American student who is touring the Holy Land. Inspired by Melville's own travels in 1857, the poem includes Melville's thoughts on the creation myth vs. evolution. He paid for the publication of CLAREL in 1876, but it was not a popular success.
