MELVILLE Herman 1918 1891
Redburn; his first voyage: being the sailor-boy confessions and reminiscences of the son of a gentleman in the merchant service
London: Constable through 1924 1922. First Edition thus. Decorative Cloth. Fine-. Limited Edition one of only 750 copies printed of Melville's fourth novel and most overtly autobiographical work. Royal 8vo 226 x 142mm: x4031pp. Publisher's slate-blue cloth spine and covers paneled in blind spine lettered in gilt top edge gilt fore- and bottom edges untrimmed coated maroon end papers title page in French blue and black. An excellent example firmly bound spine lightly faded text generally clean and crisp throughout. BAL 13680. Volume V of the 16-volume Works of Herman Melville Standard Edition publication of which marked a key event in the Melville revival of the 1920s rescuing the neglected writer from obscurity and securing him a prominent place in the American literary canon. "Redburn is simple in its conception-the story of a naïve adolescent's first trip to sea based upon Melville's own first voyage when he shipped aboard a merchant vessel from New York to Liverpool in 1839 at the age of 19. Like Melville Wellingborough Redburn is the child of a once-wealthy father who died in bankruptcy and he tries the life of a sailor largely to escape his family's suddenly reduced position. Much of the novel describes Redburn's seagoing experiences. . . . In Liverpool he is shocked by instances of abject poverty. On his return voyage he witnesses the hardships of huddled immigrants to the U. S. All these episodes combine to banish Redburn's illusions about the world making the novel in many respects a conventional bildungsroman or coming-of-age narrative." Literary Encyclopedia N. B.

A superb copy virtually pristine firmly and squarely bound pages clean and crisp. BAL 13680. Jones & Newman 15. Volume XII of the 16-volume Works of Herman Melville Standard Edition publication of which 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. Set on April Fool's Day aboard the Fidèle a steamship heading down the Mississippi River The Confidence-Man "introduces the reader to a bewildering array of characters one of whom is a skilled confidence man who appears throughout the book in a variety of disguises. The theme is trust-the limits of belief in society. Melville examines the heart of humankind and finds it as corrupt as Mark Twain did in his later works. . . . Critics have struggled with The Confidence Man and perhaps no other book of Melville's has been judged as variously. Some view it as Melville's greatest achievement next to Moby Dick; others maintain that it is a brilliant failure a 'non-novel' lacking plot or character development." enotes The author Michael McDowell comes down firmly: "I say without hesitation that is the most fundamentally unsettling powerful and influential book I have ever opened."

Melville wrote Clarel during the twenty years following his trip to Europe and the Middle East in 1856-1857. "Just as Elizabeth Melville hoped that her husband's extended tour would ease his debilitating depression Clarel the poem's protagonist searches for spiritual renewal attempting to regain the faith that he has lost during his years of study. . . . The poem focuses on the major philosophical crisis of the later nineteenth century the apparent destruction of the credibility of revealed religion in the wake of Darwin's discoveries. . . . Most of the characters in the poem are Ishmaels renegades who have turned away from the comforts of home in the hope of embracing some higher comfort but like the ceaseless wanderers of Melville's fiction they seem destined to find no rest." enotes N.

"Pierre is the most controversial of Herman Melville's novels. The work was condemned by contemporary reviewers and readers since then have had difficulty in understanding the book and in determining Melville's intent. Critics still differ widely with some regarding Pierre as a failure and others praising it as Melville's masterpiece. . . . The entire novel is riddled with contradictions and puzzles so it is well to remember its subtitle-The Ambiguities." enotes N. B.

Melville Herman
Redburn: His First Voyage
London: Richard Bentley 1849. First edition. Bound in contemporary three-quarter red morocco over marbled boards with marbled end papers and a marbled text block. Front hinge a little tender but otherwise a handsome binding. Bound with contents of both volumes up front no half-titles or title page to the second volume. Textually complete. Contemporary inscription on the title page. Redburn is the story of a young man's first voyage at sea from New York to Liverpool and back and was based on Melville's own first experiences as a seaman on a similar voyage ten years before. The book was Melville's attempt at a more commercial sort of fiction - "a plain straightforward amusing narrative of personal experience" as he described it -- and Melville himself did not accord the book much esteem. Indeed Melville finished the work in under ten weeks and submitted the draft to his publisher with nary a rewrite. Many critics however have enjoyed the work - F.O. Matthiessen considers Redburn "the most moving of its author's books before Moby-Dick." "But the great charm of the work is its realness. It seems to be fact word for word bating a little that is melo-dramatic and exaggerated in the hero at the outset. With this exception the tale is told simply and without the least pretension; and yet within its narrow bounds are flashes of genuine humor strokes of pure pathos and real and original characters" Contemporary Review in The Boston Post.
