Opis

Edgar Allan Poe: Selected Poetry and Tales brilliantly represents the best scholarly material on Poe, delivered in an accessible, conversational tone that will appeal to students. The contents run the gamut from Poe's notorious and imaginative horror tales to his literary criticism. Moreover, James M. Hutchisson has included examples of Poe's science fiction stories, detective tales, and the oft-overlooked satires. Instructors and students alike will benefit from this edition's introduction, timeline, footnotes, and appendices, which help to place Poe within his literary and social timeframe, a consideration too often neglected.
