Increasingly the focus of study pushes beyond the fright and amusement of his famous tales and seeks to locate the author within the culture of his time. In Poe and the Printed Word, Kevin Hayes explores the relationship between various facets of print culture and Poe's writings. His study provides a fuller picture of Poe's life and works by examining how the publishing opportunities of his time influenced his development as a writer. Hayes demonstrates how Poe employed different methods of publication as a showcase for his verse, criticism and fiction. Beginning with Poe's early exposure to the printed word, and ending with the ambitious magazine and book projects of his final years, this reappraisal of Poe's career provides an engaging account that is part biography, part literary history and part history of the book.Cambridge studies in American literature and culture ;124.Poe & the Printed WordPublishers and publishingMarylandBaltimoreHistory19th centuryLiterature publishingUnited StatesHistory19th centuryFantasy literature, AmericanHistory and criticismAuthors, American19th centuryBiographyPublishers and publishingHistoryLiterature publishingHistoryFantasy literature, AmericanHistory and criticism.Authors, American818/.309Hayes Kevin J.859233UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910779920803321Poe and the printed word3676582UNINA
