Riassunto

The undisputed pioneer of the horror, detective and science-fiction genres, Edgar Allan Poe was an accomplished poet as well as a celebrated writer of short stories. The present edition contains all of his works in verse, from the major poems of his maturity – such as his famous ballads 'The Raven' and 'Lenore' – to those he published in his youth and those that were collected immediately after his premature death in 1849.

Also included in this volume is a selection of Poe's essays on poetical composition and prosody, revealing that poetry was at the core of the American master's vision of literature – something also demonstrated by the significant and enduring body of work he left behind in this field.

Su questo libro

Informazioni sull?autore

Born in Boston, Edgar Allan Poe (1809–49) was brought up by the Allan merchant family after the death of his mother and being abandoned by his father. While studying at the University of Virginia he started self-publishing volumes of poetry, and after a stint in the military began writing essays and fiction for a living. He died of unknown causes – with rabies, cholera, alcoholism and tuberculosis among the hypotheses – in Baltimore.

Dalla quarta di copertina

The undisputed pioneer of the horror, detective and science-fiction genres, Edgar Allan Poe was just as influential as a poet as he is now a celebrated writer of short stories. The present edition contains a large selection of his works in verse, from those he published during his lifetime – such as his famous ballads ‘The Raven’ and ‘Lenore’ – to those that were collected immediately after his premature death in 1849, including the ones he wrote in his youth. Also included in this volume is a selection of Poe’s essays on poetical composition and prosody, revealing that poetry was at the core of the American master’s vision of literature – something also demonstrated by the accomplished productions and enduring legacy he has left behind in this field.
