Edgar Allan Poe is credited with having pioneered the short story,
having perfected the tale of psychological horror, and having
revolutionised modern poetics. The entirety of Poe's body of
imaginative work encompasses detective tales, satires, fables,
fantasies, science fiction, verse dramas, and some of the most
evocative poetry in the English language. This omnibus edition
collects all of Poe's fiction and poetry in a single volume,
including The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Tell-Tale Heart,"
"The Pit and the Pendulum,." "The Raven," "Annabel Lee," the
full-length novel "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of
Nantucket", and much more. The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar
Allan Poe is part of Barnes & Noble's Leatherbound Classics.
Each title in the series presents a classic work in an attractively
designed edition bound in genuine bonded leather. These books make
elegant additions to any home library.
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics. ' "...Take thy beak from out my
heart, and take thy form from off my door!" Quoth the Raven,
"Nevermore." ' This selection of Edgar Allan Poe's poetical works
includes some of his best-known pieces, including the triumphant,
gleeful 'The Bells', the tragic ode 'Annabel Lee' and his famous
gothic tour de force, 'The Raven'. Some present powerful,
nightmarish images of the macabre and bizarre, while others have at
their heart a profound sense of love, beauty and loss. All are
linguistic masterpieces that demonstrate Poe's gift for marrying
rhythm, form and meaning. An American writer of primarily prose and
literary criticism, Edgar Allen Poe never ceased writing poetry
throughout his turbulent life, and is today regarded as a central
figure of American literary romanticism. He died in 1849.
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved,
essential classics. ‘True! Nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous
I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease
had sharpened my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them.’ This
ultimate collection of the infamous author’s works includes
‘The Raven’, ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ and ‘The
Tell-Tale Heart’. They focus on the internal conflict of
individuals, the power of the dead over the living, and
psychological explorations of darker human emotion. An American
writer of fantastical, bizarre and sometimes disturbing short
stories, Poe wrote in the first half of the nineteenth century.
Preoccupied with delving into the darker reaches of the human
psyche, Poe is inventor of the detective story and master of the
macabre.
