520 _aEdgar Allan Poe is one of the most enigmatic and controversial writers of American literature. Poe’s works continue to engage and baffle readers more than a century after they broke new ground in American letters. This book presents a meticulously edited and annotated selection of Poe’s tales and critical writings. The detailed introduction offers a critical survey of Poe’s oeuvre, while employing contemporary critical perspectives to contextualize and analyze key texts and thematic concerns. Supplemented with erudite critical studies by Dawn Keetley and James M. Hutchisson, this collection brings the writer and his contexts closer to the reader.
