About this title

Synopsis

Few authors can claim Edgar Allan Poe's influence on literary and popular culture. During his short and turbulent life, he invented the modern detective story and horror genres with such immortal works as "The Raven", "The Tell-Tale Heart", and "The Pit and the Pendulum". Best known for the haunting melody of his poetry and prose, Poe also wrote numerous critical articles and reviews, essays and magazine articles on a variety of subjects. Drawing from a broad range of sources, such as personal correspondence and reviews, this comprehensive reference covers all of Poe's major works and most minor works. As well as information on Poe's personal life, the entries include synopses of his works, and descriptions of his characters.
