Description	Redburn: His First VoyageThe full title is Redburn: His First Voyage: Being the Sailor-boy Confessions and Reminiscences of the Son-of-a-Gentleman, in the Merchant Service. See the Library of America edition edited by George Thomas Tanselle. ISBN 0-940450-09-7 is the fourth book by the American writer Herman Melville, first published in London in 1849. The book is semi-autobiographical and recounts the adventures of a refined youth among coarse and brutal sailors and the seedier areas of Liverpool. Melville wrote Redburn in less than ten weeks. While one scholar describes it as "arguably his funniest work,"Blum (2011), 159 scholar F.O. Matthiessen calls it "the most moving of its author's books before Moby-Dick".Matthiessen (1941), 396
