FROM OUR EDITORS

Here in one volume are all of Poe's 68 tales and 47 poems as well as the long Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym. This handsome collection also includes 13 of Poe's most important critical essays (including "The Poetic Principle," "The Rationale of Verse," and "Letter to B") as well as a selection from "The Marginalia." Acknowledged as one of the most brilliant and original American writers and the father of the modern short story, Poe and his world of the beautiful and grotesque, the real and fantastic, are as powerful today as when first conceived. A collection of his complete works at this price has long been needed.
