Edgar Allan Poe mastered a variety of literary forms over the
course of his brief and turbulent career. As a storyteller, Poe
defied convention by creating Gothic tales of mystery, horror and
suspense that remain widely popular today. This collection
demonstrates how Poe's experience of early nineteenth-century
American life fueled his iconoclasm and shaped his literary legacy.
Rather than provide critical explications of his writings, each
essay explores one aspect of Poe's immediate environment, using
pertinent writings - verse, fiction, reviews and essays - to suit.
Examining his geographical, social and literary contexts, as well
as those created by the publishing industry and advances in science
and technology, the essays paint an unprecedented portrait of Poe's
life and times. Written for a wide audience, the collection will
offer scholars and students of American literature, historians and
general readers new insight into Poe's rich and complex work.
