Selected Writings of Edgar Allan Poe
by Edgar Allan Poe and Edward H. Davidson
- 1 Want to read
The "Poe myth" notwithstanding, Edgar Allan Poe was neither a drunkard, a dope fiend, nor a rake, says Edward H. Davidson in his introduction to this abundant collection of Poe's work: poetry, short stories, critical essays, and the complete Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym. In addition to an analysis of the century- old "Poe myth," Professor Davidson provides a penetrating examination of Poe's work in each genre, a Selected Bibliography, a Poe Chronology, an index, and notes on the texts.
