Edgar Allan Poe is today considered one of the greatest masters and
most fascinating figures of the American literary world. However,
an examination of Poe's essays and criticism throughout his prose
publishing career (1831-1849) reveals that the author himself
played a vital role in the creation and manipulation of his own
reputation. During his twenties and thirties, Poe promoted his
writing to magazine editors in the United States and in Europe
through several strategies. He painted a Romantic and patriotic
self-portrait in his fiery literary reviews, even as he played up
his own connections, both real and imaginary, to literary
celebrities including Washington Irving, Charles Dickens, George
Gordon Lord Byron and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Through recycling
plots, atmosphere, and language (including his own) from American
and British magazines, he built stories and essays which were
linked in a complex network of references to each other and their
author. Teachers and students alike will enjoy this single-volume
treatment of Poe's self-promotional tales and criticism.
