The essays in this collection were originally presented as talks at the Poe Studies Associations Third International Edgar Allan Poe Conference: The Bicentennial in October 2009. All the essays in this volume deal with Poes influence on authors from the United States and abroad; in addition, the collection also includes two examples of primary texts by contemporary authors whose work is directly related to Poes work or life: an interview with Japanese detective novelist Kiyoshi Kasai and poems by Charles Cantalupo.This volume includes interpretative essays on international authors whose work reflects back on Poe’s work: Edogawa Rampo from Japan; Lu Xun from China; Fernando Pessoa, Ea de Queiros and Ramalho Ortigo from Portugal; Angela Carter from England; and Nikolai Gogol from Russia. The essays in this collection complement and extend a project begun by Lois Vines Poe Abroad (University of Iowa Press, 1999) and take a wider perspective on Poes influence with essays on Poes impact on American authors William Faulkner, Mary Oliver, Joyce Carol Oates, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, and Harriet Jacobs.
