Complete Poems and Selected Essays

by Edgar Allan Poe, Richard Gray
Complete Poems and Selected Essays
Complete Poems and Selected Essays

Dark romanticism, poetry and prose confluence.

If you've ever felt a chill down your spine reading about the raven's "Nevermore," then diving into Poe's complete poems and selected essays could be an exquisite experience for you. This Everyman's edition isn't just about the macabre and the melancholic; it's a journey through Poe's genius, assembled with care to not only entertain, but also to enlighten, with critical insights and contextual understanding enriching your read. Poe's mastery of language and emotion comes through in a format that's reader-friendly, potentially turning even a moment's perusal into a lasting appreciation for a literary titan.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

The selected essays are illuminating in relation to Poe's life and times. Contents: Essays and reviews. Letter to Mr. -- The philosophy of composition -- The rationale of verse -- The poetic principle -- Georgia scenes -- Fancy and imagination -- Charles Dickens -- Longfellow -- Elizabeth Barrett Barrett -- Nathaniel Hawthorne -- From Marginalia.
