The undisputed pioneer of the horror, detective and science-fiction genres, Edgar Allan Poe was an accomplished poet as well as a celebrated ewriter of short stories. The present edition contains all of his works in verse, from the major poems of his maturity - such as his famous ballads "The Raven" and "Lenore" - to those he published in his youth and those that were collected immediately after his premature death in 1849.
Also included in this volume is a selection of Poe's essays on poetical composition and prosody, revealing that poetry teas at the core of the American master's vision of literature - something also demonstrated by the significant and enduring body of work he left behind in this field.
