Reviews

"Carefully selected, expertly edited, and judiciously annotated, James M. Hutchisson's Broadview Edition makes an excellent introduction to Poe's imaginative and critical writings. Though intended for classroom use, this exciting new edition will appeal to all readers who wish to deepen their appreciation of Edgar Allan Poe, the 'bad boy' of American literature." -- Kevin Hayes, University of Central Oklahoma "Edgar Allan Poe: Selected Poetry and Tales brilliantly represents the best scholarly material on Poe, delivered in an accessible, conversational tone that will appeal to students. The contents run the gamut from Poe's notorious and imaginative horror tales to his literary criticism. Moreover, James M. Hutchisson has included examples of Poe's science fiction stories, detective tales, and the oft-overlooked satires. Instructors and students alike will benefit from this edition's introduction, timeline, footnotes, and appendices, which help to place Poe within his literary and social timeframe, a consideration too often neglected." -- Amy Branam, Frostburg State University
