About

Introducing you to critical conflict in literary studies, Edgar Allen Poe combines selections from the author's fiction, poetry, and nonfiction with critical essays focused on three major areas of controversy--aesthetics and the literary marketplace, race, as well as gender and sexuality. Distinct editorial content complements the pieces direct from Poe, creating a platform not only to discuss Poe's life and the controversy around it, but also to engage in cultural debates about literature itself.
