Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe (1809–49) reigned unrivaled in his mastery of mystery during his lifetime and is now widely held to be a central figure of Romanticism and gothic horror in American literature. Born in Boston, he was orphaned at age three, was expelled from West Point for gambling, and later became a well-regarded literary critic and editor. The Raven, published in 1845, made Poe famous. He died in 1849 under what remain mysterious circumstances and is buried in Baltimore, Maryland.

9 ratings8 reviews
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Probably best when read drunk and listening to Lustmord.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Poe is known for too few of his poems. He deserves to be known for more.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a necessary addition for anyone who loves Poe or his poetry. It is beautiful and tragic and dark. This collection is complete and not so large as to be unwieldy.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Poe, not only a noted author but also poet, is not only the author of The Raven - the quintessential American gothic poem, but also the author of numerous other poems worthy of recognition.
This book collects of Poe's poetry from "To Helen" and "Annabel Lee" to "Ulalume" and of course "The Raven". - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Some poems were extraordinary, but the majority of the poems were dull.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a necessary addition for anyone who loves Poe or his poetry. It is beautiful and tragic and dark. This collection is complete and not so large as to be unwieldy.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fall of the House of Usher is a wonderful piece with plenty of interesting allusions to Poe's own life. The symbolism is rampant. I'm also a fan of Masque of the Red Death. A favorite quote, "There are chords in the hearts of the most reckless which cannot be touched without emotion... Even with the utterly lost, to whom life and death are equally jests, there are matters of which no jest can be made."Just wonderful.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love Edgar Allen Poe. He's is one of my favorite poets. I love his dark and eerie style. He has a lot of underlying meanings in his poems (i.e. Annabelle Lee). I like trying to decipher his feelings and emotions within the story. I also enjoy the fact that he's from maryland, like me :)
