Edgar Allan Poe continues to be a fascinating literary figure to
students and scholars alike. Increasingly the focus of study pushes
beyond the fright and amusement of his famous tales and seeks to
locate the author within the culture of his time. In Poe and the
Printed Word, Kevin Hayes explores the relationship between various
facets of print culture and Poe's writings. His study provides a
fuller picture of Poe's life and works by examining how the
publishing opportunities of his time influenced his development as
a writer. Hayes demonstrates how Poe employed different methods of
publication as a showcase for his verse, criticism and fiction.
Beginning with Poe's early exposure to the printed word, and ending
with the ambitious magazine and book projects of his final years,
this reappraisal of Poe's career provides an engaging account that
is part biography, part literary history and part history of the
book.
