The popular Poe--The Raven, Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat--has
inspired a generation of readers long disenchanted with the
normative tradition of American literature. But is the popular
Poe--incessantly drinking, drug-addicted, and entranced by the
terror of death--the real Poe? Harry Lee Poe contends that, for
more than two centuries, the great myth of Edgar Allan Poe has
damaged both the popular reader's understanding of Poe's corpus and
the historian's depiction of Poe's life. Through reviewing his
poems and short stories, literary criticism and science fiction,
Evermore reveals a Poe who is deeply confounded by the existence of
evil, the truth of justice, and even the problems of love, beauty,
and God. Here Poe aficionados and casual appreciators of literature
alike are invited into a greater understanding of Poe's most
persistent questions and offered a novel approach to reading the
American literary icon.
