Melville's Billy Budd, Sailor represents an unfinished work but one that was in its 3rd draft at the point when the author died in 1891 & which was subsequently tended to by his widow before being published to great acclaim 30+ years later in 1924 and then in a 2nd revised format in 1948.
Didn't enjoy this one as much, although the writing is solid and chapter small
