Melville
"The most comprehensive Melville anthology ever pub-
lished" was The Progressive magazine's comment on
this volume. The editor has chosen and arranged selec-
tions 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, includ-

short, this volume is the ideal assortment to supplement
Moby Dick.
