Über den Autor

Contributor's BiographynEdgar Allan Poe was a fascinating, superbly talented writer who lived a troubled, unfortunate life. He was born in Boston on January 19, 1809. His father, an actor, abandoned his family when Poe was one year old, and his mother, an actress, died of tuberculosis when he was two. Brought up by foster parents who never adopted him, Poe did not fit in well at home. A gloomy person, Poe also did not fit in well at school, in the military, or within society at large. But he sure could write well. At the age of eighteen he was a published author and by twenty-two he had decided he would make his living as a writer. Edgar Allan Poe began his literary career as a poet. He believed beauty of sound was the essential element in good poetry. He relied upon beauty of sound while composing his poetry and his prose and, as a highly skilled literary critic, used sound as a criteria to judge the work of others. Poe also believed all literary works should be short. Applying this standard to himself, he became a master of the short poem and the short story. He is universally credited with inventing the detective story and perfecting tales of horror. Unfortunately, Poe needed to write constantly to avoid extreme poverty. Though well-known and highly respected, he did not achieve fame until after his ill-fated death at the age of forty. He died soon after being discovered unconscious on a street in Baltimore; he was traveling to Philadelphia to get married. More than a century and a half after his death, Edgar Allan Poe is still popular with readers the world over. He is the only American writer who could rightfully claim to be a master of three separate literary forms-the short story, the short poem, and literary criticism. Poe is best known for "The Raven", a poem widely considered to be the most famous in all of American literature. Poe was honored in Baltimore, the city where he died, when they named their NFL franchise the "Ravens".


Klappentext

This vintage book contains Edgar Allen Poe¿s 1849 short story, ¿Landor's Cottage¿. Unlike the majority of Poe¿s work, this story is devoid of mystery, murder, and the macabre; instead, it is a detailed and masterful deillegalscription of a lone cottage. A perfect example of Poe¿s famous deillegalscriptive prowess, ¿Landor's Cottage¿ will appeal to fans of his marvellous work, and is not to be missed by the discerning collector. Edgar Allan Poe (1809¿1849) was an American author, editor, poet, and critic. Most famous for his stories of mystery and horror, he was one of the first American short story writers, and is widely considered to be the inventor of the detective fiction genre. Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
