By: Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)
The Complete Poetical Works of Edgar Allan Poe encompasses the dark and haunting poetry that has come to define Poe's literary legacy. From the melancholic "Annabel Lee" to the eerie "The Raven," each poem in this collection showcases Poe's mastery of language and ability to evoke strong emotions in his readers.
Poe's poems often delve into themes of death, loss, and the supernatural, creating a sense of foreboding that lingers long after the last line is read. His use of rhyme and meter adds to the overall musicality of his poetry, making it a joy to read aloud.
While some of the poems may be difficult to grasp upon first reading, the emotional depth and haunting imagery found within Poe's work make it worth revisiting time and time again. The Complete Poetical Works of Edgar Allan Poe is a must-have for any fan of gothic literature or poetry in general. Book Description: In placing before the public this collection of Edgar Poe's poetical works, it is requisite to point out in what respects it differs from, and is superior to, the numerous collections which have preceded it. Until recently, all editions, whether American or English, of Poe's poems have been verbatim reprints of the first posthumous collection, published at New York in 1850.In 1874 I began drawing attention to the fact that unknown and unreprinted poetry by Edgar Poe was in existence. Most, if not all, of the specimens issued in my articles have since been reprinted by different editors and publishers, but the present is the first occasion on which all the pieces referred to have been garnered into one sheaf. Besides the poems thus alluded to, this volume will be found to contain many additional pieces and extra stanzas, nowhere else published or included in Poe's works. Such verses have been gathered from printed or manuscript sources during a research extending over many years.In addition to the new poetical matter included in this volume, attention should, also, be solicited on behalf of the notes, which will be found to contain much matter, interesting both from biographical and bibliographical points of view. - Summary by John H.
