▲[[Herman Melville]] wrote a [[wikipedia:Billy budd|sad tale about the Handsome Sailor]] - which also inspired a [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055796/ movie] (directed by Peter Ustinov), as well as an [[Billy Budd (theatre)|opera]] [[wikipedia:Billy Budd (opera)|by Benjamin Britten]].
And it's full of tropes.
Unfinished as of Melville's death in 1891, the novel was not published until 1924 - and it wasn't until 1962 that a [[w:Textual criticism|critical edition]] of the novel was published.
