Tell-Tale Heart: The Life and Works of Edgar Allan Poe1 review
Julian Symons
Harpercollins, 1978
Well done and significant. Return it to print!
Too bad this book is out of print. One of England's most respected mystery writers of the 20th century and a decent critic, Julian Symons, envisioned this much as today's "Penguin Short Lives" series is conceived: to nail a prominent life in a swift moving narrative with style and critical ...

John Evangelist Walsh
Palgrave Macmillan, 2000
Now I can stop guessing..."Forevermore"
+ Another theory on Poe's demise.Follow the tale of Poe's moustache.was it there or wasn't it?
+ Interesting and Compelling
John Walsh's book is certainly a good read and the only people who seem to have trouble with it are people who don't understand that all the pieces of the puzzle aren't available and never will be. In situations like that, good investigative work has to be used--along with a good understanding of ...

A Historical Guide to Edgar Allan Poe (Historical Guides to American Authors)
J. Gerald Kennedy, 2000
Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), son of itinerant actors, holds a secure place in the firmament of history as America's first master of suspense. Displaying scant interest in native scenes or materials, Edgar Allan Poe seems the most un-American of American writers during the era of literary nationalism; yet he was at the same time a pragmatic magazinist, fully engaged in popular culture and ...

Not only is this book about intense emotions, but it takes you on a trip through madness. All the pieces are so well interwoven that you come out of it trembling with the central character.
