‎Melville Herman‎

‎The Piazza Tales‎

‎New York: Dix & Edwards 1856. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. 1st edition of Melville's first and only book of short stories. Original brown cloth gilt sharp usually oxidized away wear to spine tips lightly foxed else very good tolerable for this cheaply made book. Looking back to the American short story's roots there was Irving's Sketch Book 1820 the invention of the modern short story and the first American book that was a bestseller here and in Europe. Then came Poe's Tales 1845 Hawthorne's Mosses From an Old Manse 1846 and after The Piazza Tales there were Twain James Crane Bierce and O. Henry then Fitzgerald and Hemingway but this is the one book that touches them all. Its 431 pages are filled with 6 stories. The Bell Tower is a psychological gripper that's an advance of Edgar Poe. The Lightning-Rod Man is the shortest but it's of such absorbing invention and depth that it would be a career marker if credited to any other name. The Piazza the delusions of idealism and The Encantadas sketches of the Gal�pagos Islands are longer and just as fine. All 4 are half a century ahead of their time and more intricate than most novels but it is the 161 pages of Benito Cereno good versus evil and the 77 pages of Bartleby the Scrivener isolation that soar to the heights and stand tall at the pinnacle. Every word of plot theme characterization and atmosphere are fused in an unfamiliar manner that is nonetheless easily recognized as truthful seamlessly symmetrical and readily welcomed but it was all too late for Melville. By 1856 he couldn't believe what wasn't happening to him. He'd already decided that mind is to soul as wave is to ocean and unbumped by the threat of failure he wrote as brilliantly as he could for as long as someone would publish him and dismissed his editor's advice to write down to his readers and enjoy a successful commercial career Herman was a genius who never realized that money is coined liberty. But Melville's martyrdom or the ignorance of 19th century readers does not justify why in the 21st century 95 years after Melville's rediscovery this 1st edition continues to be undervalued beyond reason. In many ways it reads like it was written 62 years ago not 162 and I can cogently argue that it's American literature's finest collection of short fiction. The 1st edition which may include 3 printings was a small one 2500 copies sales were slower than bluff erosion 1051 sold the publishers Dix & Edwards went bankrupt and Melville himself was dismissed from literature a year later all these events ironically though repeatedly the journey of real art.

Volume X of the 16-volume Works of Herman Melville Standard Edition the publication of which in an edition of only 750 copies marked a key event in the Melville revival of the 1920s which rescued the neglected writer from obscurity and secured him a prominent place in the American literary canon. In 1853 in need of income Melville turned to short fiction publishing over the next three years some fifteen stories in Putnam's Magazine and Harper's New Monthly Magazine. Three are especially notable: "Bartleby the Scrivener" a parable of the human spirit corrupted by Wall Street materialism; "The Encantadas" a refiguring of the Galápagos islands as a Dantean hell and "Benito Cereno" the dazzling account of a slave insurrection. Melville incorporated these into The Piazza Tales along with three other previously published stories. N. B.
