1879132The complete poetical works of edgar allan poe with memoir by j.h.ingram.<br /><p><b>Edgar Allan Poe</b> <b>Edgar Poe</b>; January 19 1809 – October 7 1849 was an American writer poet editor and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and of American literature. Poe was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story and considered to be the inventor of the detective fiction genre as well as a significant contributor to the emerging genre of science fiction.1 Poe is the first well-known American writer to earn a living through writing alone resulting in a financially difficult life and career.2</p><p>Poe was born in Boston the second child of actors David and Elizabeth "Eliza" Poe.3 His father abandoned the family in 1810 and when his mother died the following year Poe was taken in by John and Frances Allan of Richmond Virginia. They never formally adopted him but he was with them well into young adulthood. He attended the University of Virginia but left after a year due to lack of money. He quarreled with John Allan over the funds for his education and his gambling debts. In 1827 having enlisted in the United States Army under an assumed name he published his first collection <i>Tamerlane and Other Poems</i> credited only to "a Bostonian". Poe and Allan reached a temporary rapprochement after the death of Allan's wife in 1829. Poe later failed as an officer cadet at West Point declared a firm wish to be a poet and writer and parted ways with Allan.</p> New york the mershon company hardcover

Bound in cloth at the printing office of Edouard Guillaume in Paris as stated on title page and last page with engravings by Mittis throughout this copy has been rebound in blue cloth with flower design on front board. In the 19th century the Victorian fascination with ciphers was a cultural phenomenon that Poe both capitalised on and helped create. During this era cryptography was viewed as a mysterious near-supernatural 'esoteric art' rather than a purely technical field. The Gold-Bug was the first major work of popular literature to use a cipher as a central plot device. It introduced the general public to letter frequency analysis. Following Poe's success cryptogram puzzles became a staple in newspapers and magazines throughout the 19th century transforming ''secret writing'' into a popular parlor game and hobby.
