The Cambridge Introduction to Edgar Allan Poe（ISBN=9780521676915） 下载 pdf 2025 网盘 epub 在线 mobi 免费

　　Much remains uncertain about the life of Edgar Allan Poe, the

mysterious author of one of the best-known American poems, 'The

Raven', the Gothic romance The Fall of the House of Usher, and the

first detective fiction, The Murders in the Rue Morgue. This 2008

book provides a balanced overview of Poe's career and writings,

resisting the tendency of many scholars to sensationalise the more

enigmatic aspects of his life. Benjamin F. Fisher outlines Poe's

experiments with a wide range of literary forms and genres, and

shows how his fiction evolved from Gothic fantasy to plausible,

sophisticated psychological fiction. Fisher makes fruitful

connections within this diverse body of work, and offers analyses

of the major works. The critical afterlife of Poe's work is

charted, and the book includes a guide to further reading, making

this a handy starting-point for students and readers new to

Poe.
