The Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe, Vol. III (in Ten Volumes) - Edgar Allan Poe

American poet, fiction writer, and literary critic EDGAR ALLAN POE (1809-1849) pioneered the short story, popularized romantic Gothic fiction in the United States in the 19th century, and almost single-handedly invented the genre of detective fiction. Appreciating Poe's work is essential to any understanding of American literature. Here, in 10 volumes, is the complete oeuvre of this American original. Available again in Cosimo's beautiful replica of the 1902 edition, finely illustrated by Canadian artist FREDERICK SIMPSON COBURN (1871-1960), and edited and with a critical introduction by American literary historian and journalist CHARLES F. RICHARDSON (1851-1913), this is a collection readers will treasure. Volume III: Tales features: • "Narrative of A. Gordon Pym" (continued from Vol. II) • "Ligeia" • "Silence: A Fable" • "The Devil in the Belfry" • "The Man That Was Used Up" • "The Fall of the House of Usher" • and more.
