Herman Melville (August 1, 1819 – September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist and poet who is often classified as part of dark romanticism. He is best known for his novel Moby-Dick which was hailed as one of the chief literary masterpieces of both American and world literature.

Bartleby, the Scrivener: a Story of Wall Street is a long short story or novelette. The narrator, an elderly lawyer who has a very comfortable business helping wealthy men deal with mortgages, title deeds, and bonds, relates the story of the strangest man he has ever known. His name is Bartleby, and the narrator hires him in hopes that his calmness will soothe the temperaments of the other two scriveners working for him.

One day, when asked by the narrator to help proofread a copied document, Bartleby answers with what soon becomes his stock response: "I would prefer not to." To the dismay of the narrator and to the irritation of the other employees, Bartleby performs fewer and fewer tasks around the office until eventually, he "prefers not to" do any work at all. The narrator finds himself unable to make Bartleby leave; his unwillingness or inability to move against Bartleby mirrors Bartleby's own strange inaction.
