Originally published in two parts in Putnam’s Magazine in 1853, “Bartleby” was reprinted in Melville’s collection The Piazza Tales (1856). It has since become his most famous work of short fiction, and Bartleby’s stubborn catchphrase–“I would prefer not to”–remains one of the best-known quotations in American literature.

The title “Bartleby, the Scrivener”–like Melville’s Billy Budd, Sailor, a personal name modified by a job title–suggests that work is a crucial part of life in the modern world, capable of affecting or even determining one’s identity. “Bartleby” and Billy Budd both draw from and reflect on dramatic economic, legal, political, and social changes in nineteenth-century America. With the rise of the marketplace and industrialization, the larger formal systems that govern society grow impersonal; legal and political mechanisms are employed to favor the needs of society at large over those of the individual.
