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.

I didn't read this particular edition, but have several books by him, so this was easier to add here. He's not my favorite author, but I'm not much of a horror or poetry buff. I can't deny his influence & popularity nor his skill. Some of his ideas have been re-used as much as Shakespeare's. If you've never read him, you should, if only to know where a lot of knock-off plots are coming from.

[ "he's too verbose for me." - grammie ]the humor ( yes, "humor" ) in his story's often goes unacknowledged. but once you start thinking in his speech there are roflmao moments.

Genius. I read every word of this as a teen (my copy of the book is actually stolen from my dad's personal library) and have re-read it multiple times since then. From the stories to the poetry, Poe is the master of his art.

One of my favorite authors of ALL TIME! Please, if you don't read his complete works, read just some. Though his subjects are rather macabre, his use of the English language is astounding! His word usage and sentence structure is matched by no other before or after. Pure genius. ❤❤❤

Views on a few of the stories within:Purloined LetterI read this because it is one of the books on the 1001 Books You Must Read List. It's clear why it's on there - a clear antecedent of Sherlock Holmes in almost every respect.

Good collection of Poe's stories and poetry.

No self-respecting purveyor of dark things should be without this book.

Poe is intruiging. He reminds me of Hitchcock in many ways (it should be the other way around right?). Mostly the resemblence has to do with thier M. Night Shamalongadingdong style twists and suspence. I find that we are so acustomed to that type of reading these days that Poe comes across pretty routine. Too bad.

I got the edition Barnes&Noble had and I say, it is a neat leather bound book that offers a little ribbon bookmark. The edge of the pages are silver, which is also pretty neat. I do enjoy a good Edgar Allan Poe poem or story. I've been a fan for a while now! I thought the book was actually a pretty good read and worth the money I had paid for it. It might not have all of his works nor his greatest works, but it is still a book worth reading! I am very glad to have this on my shelf.

Poe's overrated. But still good. I read this a while ago, I remember liking a story about a maelstrom, mainly because I just like that word.

Classics from Poe, all worth reading.

I did a school report on this highschool that required using a song from popculture. I recall I played the cure's "all cats are grey" and made up a flimsy reason to use it.

Edgar Allen Poe was one of the most creative and captivating authors ever in existence. His stories envelope your imagination and cause you to face your fears. They are very eye-opening and heartily enjoyable. This is a wonderful collection of great classics.

Edgar Allan Poe really inspired my love of reading and writing in middle school. If just words on a page can incite such horror and emotion - well, that was just amazing to me.

Review: Some of the poems and many of the stories are very good. The analyses of furniture is horrible!

[duranfan · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Most people are familiar with Poe from his Gothic Horror short stories (lovingly translated into some of the Hammer Film Classics) and not his other work.And that's the way it should stay. His non-horror stuff is very dry and not very interesting. Yawn.
