LM_NET: Library Media Networking
One of our English teachers has a question which I hope someone on
LM_Net can answer. Her class is reading a short story by Herman
Melville, entitled "What Redburn saw.....". In the story he uses
the phrase a "hater of a Howard." We have no idea what a Howard is
and have not been able to locate the answer in any anthology or
reference book. Does anyone know this short story and the origin
of the term Howard? Please send your answer to me directly at
the following address: library@mercy.win.net
Thank you.
