The Piazza Tales
Herman Melville
Hardcover
(Amerion House, Jan. 1, 1992)
In 1856, Melville personally supervised the first edition of The Piazza Tale, selecting for it five of the short stories he had previously published in Putnam's Magazine. He wrote a sixth, "The Piazza", specifically for the book. They are reprinted here as they appeared in the 1856 edition, with minor corrections for typo's and punctuation.
