Review:
This Wordsworth Classics edition brings together the collected works of Edgar Allan Poe, one of the most original writers in American literary history. Includes masterpieces such as ''The Murders in the Rue Morgue'' (widely considered the first modern detective story), ''The Pit and the Pendulum,'' ''The Fall of the House of Usher,'' and the iconic poems ''The Raven'' and ''Annabel Lee.'' This volume contains over 50 poems alongside Poe's finest tales of horror, mystery, and the macabre. Poe's influence on world literature is immense – from Baudelaire and Dostoevsky to Conan Doyle and Jules Verne. Essential reading for fans of gothic and detective fiction.
