    1. Nope. 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):

      POEMS 1947
      PIAZZA TALES 1948
      PIERRE 1949
      MOBY-DICK 1952
      THE CONFIDENCE-MAN 1954
      CLAREL 1960
      OMOO 1969
