Bartleby, the Scrivener

Bartleby, the Scrivener

by Herman Melville

Hear Sample Digital MP3



This is a short story about a lawyer with offices on Wall Street in New York City. He runs an advertisement for a scrivener, or professional copyist, for his office and Bartleby responds to his advertisement and comes to work for the lawyer. At first Bartleby appears to be a competent worker, but later he refuses to work when requested, repeatedly uttering the phrase "I would prefer not to." As Bartleby’s behavior escalates, the lawyer is confronted with how he will handle and respond to this bizarre behavior.

In 2001, the story was adapted into a movie titled “Bartleby”.



Write a Review of Bartleby, the Scrivener

Good reading, odd mispronounciations, November 03, 2006
Reviewer: emargerum from Vincennes, Indiana

Scott gives a very good reading of this odd and intriguing story about Bartleby from the point of view of a baffled but well-meaning employer. Unfortunately there are many mispronunciations throughout the reading like saying "grimmy" instead of "grimy."
