Ilustration To Books Essential Tales and Poems

The Essential Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe, by Edgar Allan Poe, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Creator of the modern detective story, innovative architect of the horror genre, and a poet of extraordinary musicality, Edgar Allan Poe remains one of America's most popular and influential writers. His tales and poems brim with psychological depth, almost painful intensity, and unexpected—and surprisingly modern—flashes of dark humor and irony. This anthology offers an exceptionally generous selection of Poe's short stories. It includes his famed masterpieces, such as "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" and "The Purloined Letter," featuring Poe's great detective, Dupin; his insightful studies of madness "The Black Cat" and "The Tell-Tale Heart"; "The Gold-Bug," his delightful exercise in "code-breaking"; and important but lesser-known tales, such as "Bon-Bon," "The Assignation," and "King Pest." Also included are some of Poe's most beloved poems, haunting lyrics of love and loss, such as "Annabel Lee," nightmare phantasmagories such as "The Raven," and his grand experiment in translating sound into words, "The Bells." Benjamin F. Fisher, Professor of English, University of Mississippi, is a longtime enthusiast of the works of Poe. He has published books, articles, and notes about Poe, and in American, Victorian, and Gothic studies, and serves on editorial boards for several professional journals. He has also been acclaimed for outstanding teaching.

Notice Based On Books Essential Tales and Poems

Just a bit classic.

Okay, did not read this completely. I did read a few stories recommended to me and did enjoy. For now, I will return this to my library.

It really is a pity the stories aren't rated individually, because the second half of the collection of stories was superb. The first half seemed rather incomplete, like Poe got bored writing them and hastily concluded them. As for the poems, I did not care for most of them. My favorite poem from the collection, "The Raven", seemed to be written in an entirely different way than the other poems. Altogether, I highly recommend this work. It contains a little bit of many things - not only poetry



You can only read so much of Poe if you aren't all Gothic thinking and a horror story fan. I was into it, until I wasn't. Then I was done.
