D7. Pickwick Edition (New York, 1928)

[_]

D7. Pickwick edition. A collected volume poses some of the same questions as a collected set (see the discussion of D4 above), but the matter is more easily decided. Wherever this volume is described, there will have to be seven cross-references to it, and it makes more sense to have the main entry in the section devoted to collected volumes than in the section dealing with any one of the works included in it. The presence of a cross-reference here is important, even though this edition of Redburn does not constitute an independent volume, for the goal is not simply to record separate volumes but to convey the publication history of the work. The inclusion of an edition of Redburn within the Romances volume is a significant part of that history (as is the inclusion of another edition within a "Library of America" volume, recorded here at D12).

Redburn was included, along with six other book-length works of Melville, in the volume entitled Romances of Herman Melville, published by Pickwick Publishers in 1928 (Redburn on pp. 1465-1660). For an account of this volume and its subeditions, see W3.
