This 1921 critical study seeks to rescue Poe from his reputation as a creepy eccentric, “to suggest his humanity and his sanity.” Including a brief biography, the author considers Poe the man alongside his world reputation, as well as Poe the critic, poet, and writer of short stories and hybrid fiction-essays like “Shadow—A Parable.”
