Two Novels. Stories. Poems Melville creator Leyda J edt us New York The Viking Press 1952 eng 746 p. "The most comprehensive Melville anthology ever published" was The Progressive magazine`s comment on this volume. The editor has chosen and arranged selections from Melville`s writings, augmented by pertinent Melville letters, and linked by editorial comment, to supply in effect a biography of Melville as well as a full representation of his work. Moby Dick, easily available in numerous editions, has been omitted to allow a much more ample choice of other less available works, including the complete text of Typee and Billy Budd. In short, this volume is the ideal assortment to supplement Moby Dick. n/29174 101106 20260805124445.0 00000000000041355
