Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Printing. 2nd printing. Wrappers lightly soiled, insides of wrappers a bit foxed. 1969 Trade Paperback. xi, [1], 384 pp. Includes Historical Note and Textual Record following text. "Redburn is a fictional narrative of a boy's first voyage, based loosely on Melville's own first voyage to and from Liverpool in 1839. Hastily composed and little esteemed by its author, Redburn was more highly thought of by his critics, who saw it regaining the ground of popular sea stories like Typee and Omoo. Melville so disliked the novel that he submitted it to his publisher without polishing it. This scholarly edition corrects a number of errors that have persisted in subsequent editions. Based on collations of the editions published during his lifetime, it incorporates corrections made in the English edition and emendations made by the present editors.

Book
Hardcover. Black cloth boards with gilt lettering; red title block on spine; off-white dj with red and black lettering; viii, 847 pp; facsimiles. Included are two sea tales that encompass the essence of Melville's art: "Benito Cereno", an exhilarating account of mutiny and rescue aboard a disabled slave ship, which is a parable of man's struggle against the forces of evil, and "The Encantadas", ten allegorical sketches of the Galapagos Islands, which reveal nature to be both enchanting and horrifying. Two pieces explore themes of isolation and defeat found in Melville's great novels: "Bartelby, the Scrivener", a prophetically modern story of alienation and loss on nineteenth-century Wall Street, and "The Bell Tower", a Faustian tale about a Renaissance architect who brings about his own violent destruction. The other two works reveal Melville's mastery of very different writing styles: "The Lightning-Rod Man", a satire showcasing his talent for Dickensian comedy, and "The Piazza", the title story of the collection, which anticipates the author's later absorption with poetry. Contents: The piazza tales --; Uncollected pieces --; Reconstructed lectures --; Attributed pieces --; Editorial appendix. VG- (Ex-library with stamps and labels on spine, inside front and rear covers, ffep and block. Pages are otherwise clean and clear. Binding tight.).

Contains several important literary reviews, including articles on Margaret Fuller Ossoli, "Bleak House, Charles Dickens, and the Copyright," Hawthorne's *Blithedale Romance*, and a now classic dismissal of Melville's *Pierre, or the Ambiguities*: "A bad book!

Also noteworthy are two articles on the California gold rush: "A Lump from the California Placer," and "The New Gold Regions: Effects of the Increase of Gold" and a series of four long articles on the Mormons: "Mormonism in Illinois," published in the March, April, June, and December issues.
