  • Who Was Edgar Allan Poe?

    Jim Gigliotti, Who HQ, Tim Foley

    Paperback (Penguin Workshop, Aug. 11, 2015)
    Filled with broken hearts and black ravens, Edgar Allan Poe’s ghastly tales have delighted readers for centuries. Born in Boston in 1809, Poe was orphaned at age two. He was soon adopted by a Virginia family who worked as tombstone merchants. In 1827 he enlisted in the Army and subsequently failed out of West Point. His first published story, The Raven, was a huge success, but his joy was overshadowed by the death of his wife. Poe devoted his life to writing and his tragic life often inspired his work. He is considered to be the inventor of detective fiction and the father of American mystery writers. His work continues to influence popular culture through films, music, literature, and television.

  • Edgar Allan Poe

    George E. Woodberry

    eBook (Making History, Aug. 20, 2018)
    Making History. The Home of 99p/99c History Books.Edgar Allan Poe, author, poet, literary critic and editor, was born in Boston, January 19, 1809. His parents, Elizabeth Arnold and David Poe, were both actors who separated shortly after his birth. By the age of 2, Edgar was alone and semi-destitute with his siblings Henry and Rosalie – David remained an absent father and Elizabeth died tragically from tuberculosis, alone on a straw bed while her children looked on helplessly. This uncertainty and instability were patterns that continued throughout Poe’s life, mimicked in his art. Catastrophe, insanity, excess, dereliction and depression would haunt him whilst informing the psychological horror of his wildly popular tales and poems of horror and mystery, including ‘The Fall of the House of the Usher’, ‘The Raven’ and ‘The Tell-Tale Heart’. Poe heralded a new interpretation of the Gothic form in American fiction and his genius and artistic prowess remain iconic. Yet his extraordinary life has frequently been the subject of conflicting, doubtful and contested information. Carefully documenting one of the most flawed, troubled and fascinating figures in literary history, a man of letters, philosophy, art and science, Woodberry presents a rare and in-depth account of Poe’s family background. Including personal correspondence and private notes, this is an elegant and mesmerising biography documenting Poe’s greatest eccentricities, achievements, affairs and sorrows. George Edward Woodberry (1855-1930) was an American literary critic and poet. Born in Massachusetts, he studied at Harvard University. His other titles include the biographies Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Swinburne.

    Harold Bloom

    Library Binding (Chelsea House Pub, Jan. 1, 1985)
    Edgar Allan Poe is unique for being at once so firmly entrenched within the American literary tradition and yet so questionable in the eyes of the very critics whose attentions strengthened his position. Harold Bloom wonders if Poe's longevity suggests that literary merit and canonical status aren't inseparable. This title, Edgar Allan Poe, part of Chelsea House Publishers’ Modern Critical Views series, examines the major works of Edgar Allan Poe through full-length critical essays by expert literary critics. In addition, this title features a short biography on Edgar Allan Poe, a chronology of the author’s life, and an introductory essay written by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University.

    Edgar Allan Poe, Jonas Perez Camacho

    eBook (Editorial Weston, March 22, 2020)
    -Special Edition- This precious and cared edition includes the ghostly illustrations created by William Heath Robinson, in 1900, for the Anglo-Saxon edition of Doubleday, Page & Co (New York) of the book of Poe's Tales.Today talking about Edgar Allan Poe is talking about a teacher. A teacher of the strange; one of the most famous American writers of Romanticism.Every day more people discover it, while others rush to rediscover it. His texts provoke an irresistible attraction. In them we find talking crows, spirits of dead people and living people who seem dead. Shadows, destruction, nostalgia and love. In a way, the main character that inspired his work was himself."My life has been whim, drive, passion, longing for loneliness, mockery of the things of this world," he wrote. His misfit existence was at times as chilling as the horror texts he wrote. Poe's poetry is considered at a high level as his prose where woman, death and love flow as tragedy.“Poe has created a special, different genre, which comes only from himself, and which he took away when he died the secret. He can be called Master of the School of the Strange, for he has pushed back the limits of the impossible. ”- Jules Verne, MusĂ©e des familles, 1864
