Description
Hendricks House, with Howard Vincent as general editor, intended this to be one volume in the complete works of Melville, but that broader goal was only partially realized. That this was the first American edition of the complete poems was, in Vincentís view, ìa scathing indictment of the neglect of Americaís most powerful literary genius.î
