Item description from seller

Complete set of this extremely scarce modern edition of the works of E. A. Poe, published from 1969 to 1997. Thomas Olive Mabbott edited the Poems and the Tales and Sketches for Harvard UP but died in 1968. In 1981, Twayne published „The Imaginary Voyages edited by Burton Pollin (Volume 1 of the Collected Writings). Volumes 2-5 of The Collected Writings, also edited by Pollin were published 1985-1997 by The Gordian Press. The 2 Volume edition of the Letters, edited by John Ward Ostrom is present here in the 1966 Gordian Press Reissue with a new introduction and a supplementary chapter. Also included is „Word Index to Poes Fiction, edited by Burton R. Pollin, Gordian Press 1982 and „Selections from the Critical Writings of E. A. Poe, edited by F. C. Prescott, published by Gordian Press, 1981 with a new preface and a new Introduction. The additional Volumes are „Eureka“ and „Critical Theory“. These volumes were edited by Stuart and Susan F. Levine and published by the University of Illinois Press. The last two titles were originally planned as part of the Pollin edition of the Writings. This is a unique collection. Books are in very good, mostly unused condition. The „Imaginary Voyages volume has been rebound, retaining the original spine title. The Dustwrappers of the Harvard UP volumes show some wear, the dustwrappers of the Illinois UP volumes are very good, the other volumes were published without dustwrappers. No other markings. An indispensable set for the Poe scholar.
