Overall a handsome and sleek copy. Housed in a custom quarter morocco clamshell box. From the library of Pulitzer Prize winning author Kenneth Silverman. BAL 13673. Melville's reflections on the moral questions of the American Civil War Battle-Pieces explores themes such as the loss of innocence and martyrdom during a time when the nation was in a period of intense conflict. The book was Herman Melville's first volume of poetry with 72 poems about the Civil War and its aftermath the poems are divided into two sections - an untitled first section containing 52 poems that trace the history of the war followed by a section titled "Verses Inscriptive and Memorial". Additionally a prose Supplement at the end of the volume features Melville's thoughts on how the country can heal and move forward. The book was not popular or critically acclaimed in its time selling only 486 copies in two years but received renewed attention and praise at the start of the 20th century. Chiefly a biographer Professor Kenneth Silverman co-directed the American Civilization program at NYU and won the Pulitzer and Bancroft prizes for his work The Life and Times of Cotton Mather. Other notable works of his include biographies of Edgar Allan Poe and Samuel F. B. Morse. A magician himself he also profiled the life of Harry Houdini. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good.

1866158051866. one of Melville's scarcest New York: Harper & Brothers 1866. Original violet cloth beveled board edges.<br/> <br/> First Edition of Melville's first published volume of verse about the just-concluded American Civil War -- "dedicated to the memory of the Three Hundred Thousand who in the war for the maintenance of the Union fell devotedly under the flag of their fathers." In 1857 Melville stopped writing fiction after the publication of THE CONFIDENCE-MAN -- though he would live 34 additional years; discouraged by the lack of critical acclaim he turned instead to verse to which he had originally aspired. Three years later 1860 he submitted some poems to Harper but his proposed volume was rejected and those poems today are lost. Five years after that spurred on by the fall of Richmond he wrote the 72 poems that comprise BATTLE-PIECES -- the first section of 50 describing the war chronologically event by event and the second section consisting of elegies epitaphs and requiems. His introductory poem "The Portent" not cited in the Contents covers the hanging of John Brown in 1859; two poems after "The Surrender at Appomattox" is "The Martyr" the assassination of Lincoln. Throughout Melville describes not the glory of the war but the horror and the tragedy of the war. As Blanck notes all copies bear the misprint "hnndred" on the copyright page it is small print and the letters "u" and "n" are very similar so a myth has evolved that there are two states. This copy is bound in textured violet cloth Blanck's "red-purple C-like cloth" one of seven possibilities of cloth grain and color no precedence. Condition is very good slight wear at the spine ends and two small dents in the spine; spine a little sunned as always with this color; front endpaper cracked but tight. This is one of Melville's scarcer titles; one can well imagine that Harper printed comparatively few copies of Melville's second attempt at verse having rejected his first attempt outright.
