Description Supposing Books Essential Tales and Poems
The Essential Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe, by Edgar Allan Poe, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Creator of the modern detective story, innovative architect of the horror genre, and a poet of extraordinary musicality, Edgar Allan Poe remains one of America's most popular and influential writers. His tales and poems brim with psychological depth, almost painful intensity, and unexpected—and surprisingly modern—flashes of dark humor and irony. This anthology offers an exceptionally generous selection of Poe's short stories. It includes his famed masterpieces, such as "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" and "The Purloined Letter," featuring Poe's great detective, Dupin; his insightful studies of madness "The Black Cat" and "The Tell-Tale Heart"; "The Gold-Bug," his delightful exercise in "code-breaking"; and important but lesser-known tales, such as "Bon-Bon," "The Assignation," and "King Pest." Also included are some of Poe's most beloved poems, haunting lyrics of love and loss, such as "Annabel Lee," nightmare phantasmagories such as "The Raven," and his grand experiment in translating sound into words, "The Bells." Benjamin F. Fisher, Professor of English, University of Mississippi, is a longtime enthusiast of the works of Poe. He has published books, articles, and notes about Poe, and in American, Victorian, and Gothic studies, and serves on editorial boards for several professional journals. He has also been acclaimed for outstanding teaching.Rating Out Of Books Essential Tales and Poems

A well written book. Enjoyed reading it.
This has taken me years to finish. I found Poe to be a little to intense to read for weeks at a time. I started in in High School, forgot it for the first three years of College, and now I'm done.One thing that I loved about Poe was the intensity and immersion he creates. I've never read a book or story before where I almost dreaded turning the page because I was afraid.However, last story of this book was what nearly stopped me from finishing. The story was over 20 chapters long, and you would
The Maven Once, in summer, weary, I wanted to discuss a theory,And so walked up to the classroom of my teacher, Lenore.I started gently rapping, wondering if she wasnt napping, And then I heard the tapping of her feet across the floor;The tap, tap, tap of high-heeled shoes across the floorAnd there stood my LenoreOh, hello there, she said yawning as I said to her Good morning.I have something Id like to discuss with you, my dear Lenore.Well sit down, she said and went back to her desk; she
Why it has felt like many lustra have passed since I first hearkened of this collection-of which occurrence I am most pleased- and, through chronological excavation, I, your narrator, at this epoch of writing, have finally reached a conclusion! And yet, for a while, I saw only a tinkering of adjectival madness but, luckily, a faithful thesaurus was at hand to do my bidding and now, at this current time, if only you could see the lustre of my eyes as I reminisce of reading those foregone pages-oh
