Update - 04/28/2024
As alert readers have pointed out in the comments, digital versions of Hendricks House editions are also accessible courtesy of the Internet Archive. Virtual editions there now include The Piazza Tales by Herman Melville (Hendricks House, 1948) and Gordon Roper's copy of Melville's Collected Poems (Hendricks House, 1947), donated to the Trent University Library. Both titles are available to borrow for 1 hour at a time.
THE PIAZZA TALES (1856)
- The Piazza Tales 1948, edited by Egbert S. Oliver.<https://archive.org/details/piazzatales0000melv_j8m0/page/n7/mode/2up>
- Collected Poems 1947, edited by Howard P. Vincent.<https://archive.org/details/collectedpoemsof0000melv/page/n1/mode/2up>
Alas, I still have not seen or heard about any digital version of the 1990 Hendricks House Mardi and a voyage thither, edited by Nathalia Wright.
Here is the first volume on online - Collected Poems of Herman Melville. https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.503576/page/n5
ReplyDeleteThank you! Now I see the Internet Archive also has the 1948 Hendricks House Piazza Tales, ed. Egbert S. Oliver:

Is there a Hendricks House Typee as well?
ReplyDeleteNope. Sequence of publication was all out of chronological order. Watson G. Branch gives the following dates of publication in Select Bibliography for Herman Melville: The Critical Heritage (1974, reprinted by Routledge in 1997):

Mardi is also in the series.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Edited by Nathalia Wright and published somehow by Hendricks House in 1990--more than ten years after the death of founder Walter Hendricks (1892-1979). Twenty years after publication in 1970 of the Northwestern-Newberry edition of MARDI. I don't know the backstory there but it must be a good one. Wishing now I had the Hendricks House edition of MARDI but it's hard to get. Maybe I can borrow a copy through inter-library loan.
