There are few poets like Poe. He combined the gift of a poet's turn of phrase with an immense knowledge of many topics, most notably mythology and history. His genres vary from romantic poems to dark short stories.Read him for pleasure or read him to learn. Either way, just read him!

Great gift for any Poe fan and it has so much in it. A read that will last for years and years.

I have Dr. Fisher as a professor this year and I can say, after listening to him speak, that he is very knowledgeable on the subject of Poe. He uses excerpts from this text in his class and it is very thorough.

I was surprised at how good this copy of the book was since it cost so little, but when I opened it up it looked almost new! I love it!

Wonderful book great condition

What needs be said? It's Poe!

This is a nice collection of Edgar Allan Poe. I'm a fan but not a fanatic. So this book was great for me. It has a great mix of almost everything Poe has written. There is anaylsis of the writing which is key to this edition being a good read.Benjamin F. Fischer is a Poe expert and he really helps draw out the factors that influenced Poe's writing.

O livro em si é ótimo. O problema é que me venderam um produto novo, porém me enviaram um produto usado, rabiscado, manchado e com bichos. Nem o vendedor e nem a Amazon resolveram meu problema. Fiquei no prejuízo. Garantia de A a Z é papo furado.

a lot of content ; beautiful poems & thrilling short stories
