Description

Created to an unfortunate history, unsympathetically elevated, orphaned, and subsequently forgotten, Edgar Allan Poe battled for success within an undesirable social and economic system -- a location not enhanced by his fantastic personality and corrosive critique of others. Poeis melancholy beauty, his passionate lyricism, and his tormented spirit might make him among the most widely-read and original authors in American literature. Here, in one single volume, are his traditional small works: projects of fear, fear, humor, and experience -- and the best lyric and narrative composition of this ill fated genius whose impact on both prose and verse remains to this day. Pocket Guides' Enriched Classics present the truly amazing works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary audience.
