Recenzje

As with most of Oxford's recent handbooks, this particular text seeks to serve the function of orienting scholars who may be new to Poe scholarship as well as pushing the boundaries of the field by marking the emergent terrain. This text succeeds admirably in accomplishing both tasks [...] This is a text that should form part of the research library for any serious Poe scholar.
