Abandoned by his father and the later death of his mother, he was taken into the foster care of John Allan, a Virginia tobacco farmer. Now styled as Edgar Allan Poe, he distinguished himself at the University of Virginia but was equally adept at collecting debts from his assiduous gambling. His stepfather's disapproval shattered their fragile relationship and Poe left home to seek his fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 1836 he married his cousin Virginia but despite his prolific activities - journalism, poetry, lecturing, short stories, publishing, criticism and experimentation with fictional genres, including the detective novel which he virtually invented with the publication of \u003cem\u003eThe Murders in the Rue Morgue\u003c\/em\u003e (1841) - he received scant recognition for his efforts until the publication of \u003cem\u003eThe Raven\u003c\/em\u003e in 1845. The poem's instant popularity gave him a new visibility in literary circles, but his personal situation remained desperate: poverty, illness, drink, and the physical decline and ultimate death of Virginia in 1847 led to his untimely and premature decline. In 1849 he was found sick, injured and semi-conscious in a Baltimore tavern. Taken to hospital, he lingered on for four days, but never recovered and on October 7th Edgar Allan Poe died at the age of 40.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe was one of the most original writers in the history of American letters - a genius who, thanks to his dire reputation, was tragically misunderstood during his lifetime.

Yet, as well as being highly enjoyable, Poe''s tales are works of very real intellectual exploration. Abandoning the criteria of characterization and plotting in favour of blurred boundaries between self and other, will and morality, identity and memory, Poe uses the Gothic to question the integrity of human existence. Indeed, Poe is less interested in solving puzzles or in moral retribution than in exposing the misconceptions that make things seem `mysterious'' in the first place. Attentive to the historical and political dimensions of these very American tales, this new critical edition selects twenty-four tales and places the most popular - `The Fall of the House of Usher'', `The Masque of the Red Death'', `The Murders in the Rue Morgue; and `The Purloined Letter'' - alongside less well-known travel narratives, metaphysical essays and political satires. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMS Found in a Bottle ; Berenice ; Morella ; Ligeia ; The Man That Was Used Up ; The Fall of the House of Usher ; William Wilson ; The Man of the Crowd ; The Murders in the Rue Morgue ; Eleonora ; The Masque of the Red Death ; The Pit and the Pendulum ; The Mystery of Marie Roget ; The Tell-Tale Heart ; The Gold-Bug ; The Black Cat ; A Tale of the Ragged Mountains ; The Purloined Letter ; The Systems of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether ; The Imp of the Perverse ; The Cask of Amontillado ; The Domain of Arnheim ; Hop-Frog ; Von Kempelen and his Discovery","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732844327255,"sku":"9780199535774","price":7.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780199535774.jpg?v=1719998640"},{"product_id":"the-narrative-of-arthur-gordon-pym-of-nantucket-and-related-tales-9780199540471","title":"The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd now I found these fancies creating their own realities, and all imagined horrors crowding upon me in fact''.The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym is an archetypal American story of escape from home and family which traces a young man''s rite of passage through a series of terrible brushes with death during a fateful sea voyage. But it also goes much deeper, as Pym encounters various interpretative dilemmas, at last leaving the reader with a broken-off ending that defies solution.Apart from its violence and mystery, the tale calls attention to the act of writing and to the problem of representing truth.

'The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfall' relates a man's balloon journey to the moon with a combination of scientific precision and astonishing fantasy.
