Whether meditating on the bloody battlefields of the Civil War, the mysteries of faith and doubt in the Holy Land, or the strange relationship between the Maldive Shark and the pilot fish that glide before "his Gorgonian head," Melville's verse combines precise physical detail and rich metaphysical speculation in an unorthodox style and with a compressed power uniquely his own. The fruit of decades of textual scholarship, this fourth and final volume of the Library of America Melville edition gathers for the first time in one volume all of Melville's poems: the four books of poetry published in his lifetime, his uncollected poems, and the poems from two projected volumes of poetry and prose left unfinished at his death. Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War is both a deeply philosophical work of mourning for the Civil War dead and a fascinating record of campaigns and battles and the war's immediate aftermath. With a cast of characters to rival Moby-Dick, the epic poem Clarel, about a young American divinity student's pilgrimage to the Holy Land, plumbs the profound existential and religious questions that haunted Melville throughout his life. In two late privately issued books, the retrospective John Marr and Other Sailors and Timoleon Etc., the aging poet returns to the nautical scenes and reading of his youth. Many of the poems in the two manuscripts left unfinished at Melville's death, Weeds and Wildings and Parthenope, have not been previously available in a reliable trade edition."--Publisher. 650 0 $a Christian pilgrims and pilgrimages $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Sailing $v Poetry. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $v Poetry. 650 0 $a American poetry $y 19th century. 611 27 $a American Civil War (1861-1865) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01351658 650 7 $a American poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807348 650 7 $a Christian pilgrims and pilgrimages. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00859365 650 7 $a Sailing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01103513 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423828 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Parker, Hershel, $e editor. 700 1 $a Sandberg, Robert A. $q (Robert Allen), $e contributor. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Melville, Herman, $d 1819-1891. $t Battle-pieces and aspects of the war. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Melville, Herman, $d 1819-1891. $t Clarel. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Melville, Herman, $d 1819-1891. $t John Marr and other sailors. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Melville, Herman, $d 1819-1891. $t Timoleon. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Melville, Herman, $d 1819-1891. $t Weeds and wildings. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Melville, Herman, $d 1819-1891. $t Parthenope. 830 0 $a Library of America; $v 320. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214012520.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191105024814.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20191018013137.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B7512682F16C11E99671E53E97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
