Selected Poems of Herman Melville

Quick Overview

Everyone agrees that Whitman and Dickinson are the two greatest poets of 19th-century America, but who is the third? Some readers say Whittier, others say Poe, and these days an increasing number say Herman Melville. The revaluation of Melville's poetry is due in large part to the influence of this landmark volume, for Melville the Poet has never found a more judicious, eloquent, or persuasive partisan than Robert Penn Warren. In 1970, Warren published what was then (and what remains) the most comprehensive selection of Melville's poetry ever presented. The book brings together the best lyrics from Battle-Pieces (1866), John Marr (1888), and Timoleon (1891), as well as many poems unpublished during Melville's lifetime. It's a book that not only showcases an American master at his most powerful, but also changes our perception of his work forever.
