Billy Budd, Sailor - Paperback

by Herman Melville (Author), Harrison Hayford (Editor), Merton M. Sealts Jr (Editor)

Hayford and Sealts's text was the first accurate version of Melville's final novel. Based on a close analysis of the manuscript, thoroughly annotated, and packaged with a history of the text and perspectives for its criticism, this edition will remain the definitive version of a profoundly suggestive story.
