In this 1910 volume, Ransome examines the life and work of Edgar Allan Poe, in an attempt to “separate truth from tradition.” Ransome’s careful analysis of Poe’s life, work, and thought processes support his view that Poe’s tales and poetry were merely by-products of his unfinished search for a philosophy of life. An evocative portrait of a pioneering writer.
