Although best known for his short stories, Edgar Allan Poe was by nature and choice a poet. From his exquisite lyric 'To Helen' to his immortal masterpieces, 'Annabel Lee' 'The Bells' and 'The Raven' Poe stands beside the celebrated English romantic poets Shelley, Byron, and Keats, and his haunting, sensuous poetic vision profoundly influenced the Victorian giants Swinburne, Tennyson, and Rossetti.
This book is carefully illustrated by the famous illustrator and cartoonist William Heath Robinson. William Heath Robinson (1872-1944) is an artist whose work, whether in his well known humorous drawings or his illustrations for Kipling, Shakespeare or children's stories, is integral to British cultural heritage. This book includes among others poems by Poe : "Alone" (1875) "Annabel Lee" (1849) "The Bells" (1849) "The City in the Sea" (1831) "The Conqueror Worm" (1843) "Dream-Land" (1844) "A Dream Within A Dream" (1850) "Eldorado" (1849) "For Annie" (1849) "The Haunted Palace" (1839) "The Raven" (1845) "The Sleeper" (1831) "To The River" (1829) "Spirits of the Dead" (1829) "A Valentine" (1850) "The Valley of Unrest" (1845) and many more poems.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie d'Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston in 1809, but was orphaned in 1811 and went to live with a foster family in Virginia. The relationship was conflicted, and the Allans withdrew their financial support after Poe had completed only one semester at the University of Virginia. He enlisted in the Army, then enrolled briefly in West Point, meanwhile publishing three volumes of poetry : Tamerlane (1827), Al Aaraaf (1829), and Poems (1831).
From 1831 to 1835, he lived in Baltimore with his aunt, where despite his increasing literary success, he began a lifelong struggle with poverty and addiction to alcohol. In May 1836, he married his first cousin, Virginia Clemm, a child of thirteen. In April 1844, he moved his family to New York, and in January of the following year, his literary fortunes turned when his poem 'The Raven' appeared in the New York Evening News.
Overnight, he became the most talked-about man of letters in America. Early in 1847 his wife died of tuberculosis and he sank further into alcoholism. On October 3, 1849 he was found wandering the streets of Baltimore, delirious, and died four days later from an unknown cause.
