    by Jerome McGann, Scott Peeples, Jennifer Rae Greeson, Eliza Richards, Maurice Lee, Betsy Erkkila, Leland S. Person, Anna Brickhouse, Leon Jackson ...
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809--1849) has long occupied the position of literary outsider.

Opposing the pressure to write nationalistic "American" tales or from a restricted New England perspective, he ... Read more

  • The Oxford Handbook of Edgar Allan Poe

    Edited by J. Gerald Kennedy, Scott Peeples ...
    Series series Oxford Handbooks

Such acclaim would have gratified Poe, who deliberately wrote for "the world at large" and mocked the provincialism of strictly nationalistic themes. Partly for this reason, early literary historians cast Poe ... Read more
