1992 Edgar Allan Poe The Complete Stories Vintage Classic Fiction Book Edgar Allan Poe The Complete Stories By Edgar Allan Poe Published by Everyman's Library Alfred A. Knopf: London etc 1992 With Original Unclipped Dustjacket "Edgar Allan Poe’s The Complete Stories brings together the full body of Poe’s extraordinary short fiction, ranging from Gothic horror and psychological terror to satire, fantasy, science fiction and the pioneering detective tales that helped establish an entirely new literary genre. Among the celebrated works included are The Fall of the House of Usher, The Masque of the Red Death, The Black Cat, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Cask of Amontillado, The Murders in the Rue Morgue and The Purloined Letter, together with Poe’s many lesser-known and more experimental stories. The collection demonstrates the remarkable breadth of Poe’s imagination and his enduring influence upon modern literature. His explorations of madness, guilt, premature burial, obsession, death and the supernatural helped define the Gothic and macabre tradition, while C. Auguste Dupin and the tales of analytical detection provided an important foundation for the modern detective story. This Everyman’s Library edition includes a substantial introduction by John Seelye, together with a select bibliography and chronology, providing useful literary and biographical context for Poe’s work and its place within nineteenth-century American literature.
