Melville'S Long Poem Clarel: A Poem And Pilgrimage In The Holy Land (1876) Was The Last Fulllength Book He Published. Until The Midtwentieth Century Even The Most Partisan Of Melville'S Advocates Hesitated To Endure A Fourpart Poem Of 150 Cantos Of Almost 18,000 Lines, About A Nave American Named Clarel, On Pilgrimage Through The Palestinian Ruins With A Provocative Cluster Of Companions.But Modern Critics Have Found Clarel A Much Better Poem Than Was Ever Realized. Robert Penn Warren Called It A Precursor Of The Waste Land. It Abounds With Revelations Of Melville'S Inner Life. Most Strikingly, It Is Argued That The Character Vine Is A Portrait Of Melville'S Friend Hawthorne. Based On The Only Edition Published During Melville'S Lifetime, This Scholarly Edition Adopts Thirtynine Corrections From A Copy Marked By Melville And Incorporates 154 Emendations By The Present Editors, An Also Includes A Section Of Related Documents And Extensive Discussions.This Scholarly Edition Is An Approved Text Of The Center For Editions Of American Authors (Modern Language Association Of America).
