Synopsis

This book is part of the "Everyman" series which has been re-set with wide margins and easy-to-read type and includes a themed introduction, a chronology of the life and times of the author, a plot summary, annotated reading list and critical response. This selection presents all of Poe's poetry, and includes the less well known poems written before he was 20, among them "To Helen", which Poe said was written in boyhood for the woman whose death caused him "with half his heart to inhabit other worlds". The selected essays are illuminating in relation to Poe's life and times.
