The Works Of Edgar Allan Poe (The Raven Edition)

The Works of Edgar Allan Poe Volume 1 The Raven Edition CLASSIC GOTHIC HORROR The great masters of imagination have seldom resorted to the vague and the unreal as sources of effect. They have not used dread and horror alone, but only in combination with other qualities, as means of subjugating the fancies of their readers. The loftiest muse has ever a household and fireside charm about her. Mr. Poe's secret lies mainly in the skill with which he has employed the strange fascination of mystery and terror. In this his success is so great and striking as to deserve the name of art, not artifice. We cannot call his materials the noblest or purest, but we must concede to him the highest merit of construction. CONTENTS EDGAR ALLAN POE DEATH OF EDGAR A.
