Contributions provide a series of alternative perspectives on one of the most enigmatic and controversial American writers. The essays, specially tailored to the needs of undergraduates, examine all of Poe's major writings, his poetry, short stories and criticism, and place his work in a variety of literary, cultural and political contexts. They situate his imaginative writings in relation to different modes of writing: humor, Gothicism, anti-slavery tracts, science fiction, the detective story, and sentimental fiction. Three chapters examine specific works: The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, 'The Fall of the House of Usher', 'The Raven', and 'Ulalume'. The volume features a detailed chronology and a comprehensive guide to further reading, and will be of interest to students and scholars alike. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 676 $a818/.309 676 $aB 702 $aHayes$b Kevin J. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996217750703316 996 $aCambridge companion to Edgar Allan Poe$9988771 997 $aUNISA
