MELVILLE S LIFE. Herman Melville was born in New York City on
August 1, 1819, to Allan Melvill (as his father spelled his name)
and Maria Gansevoort Melvill. Both sides of the family were quite
well off, and could even be called "aristocratic" in a sense; his father
came from a line of successful merchants, and his mother from Hudson
Valley landholders. His childhood was a secure and comfortable one,
but his fortunes changed in 1830, when his father suffered serious
business losses. In January, 1832, Allan Melvill died, mentally and
physically exhausted. Melville had idolized his father, and his death
was a profound shock. For several years thereafter, the family was
in a financial twilight, never destitute but never secure.
