This incisive catalogue of literary and rhetorical terms, presented in alphabetical order and amply illustrated with examples - in addition to close examinations of some of Poe's most important tales - overwhelmingly demonstrates Poe's rhetorical and linguistic dexterity, putting a nearly two-hundred-year-old critical debate to rest by showing Poe to be a conscientious craftsman of the highest order.LITERARY COLLECTIONS / GeneralbisacshLITERARY COLLECTIONS / General.811/.3Zimmerman Brett1958-1521658MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782184403321Edgar Allan Poe3760987UNINA
