Winner of the 2019 Patrick F. Quinn Award for the best book on Poe
(awarded by the Poe Studies Association) Edgar Allan Poe and His
Nineteenth-Century American Counterparts addresses Poe's
connections with, critical assessments of, borrowings from, and
effect on his literary peers. It situates Poe within his own time
and place, paying particular attention to his interactions with,
and impact on, figures such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Walt Whitman,
Herman Melville, Mark Twain, Harriet Jacobs, and Pauline Hopkins.
John Cullen Gruesser rebuts myths that continue to cling to Poe,
demonstrates Poe's ability to transform themes he encountered in
the works of his literary contemporaries into great literature, and
establishes the profound influence of Poe's invention of detective
fiction on nineteenth-century American writers.
