Original maroon morocco elaborately stamped in gilt all page edges gilt.<br/> <br/> First Appearance of Poe's intense psychological tale involving the title character being haunted by a whispering doppelgänger -- who leads the narrator to insanity and a duel to the death but of whom. The tale is set at a boy's school in England based on the Manor House School in Stoke Newington which Poe had attended during the years 1817-1820. This first appearance occupies 25 pages of THE GIFT -- soon after which it appeared in the October 1839 issue of Burton's Gentleman's Magazine where it is noted that it is "from The Gift of 1840"; in November 1839 but dated 1840 "William Wilson" was collected in Poe's TALES OF THE GROTESQUE AND ARABESQUE. When Poe subsequently 1842 wrote a review of Hawthorne's TWICE-TOLD TALES -- a review that is regarded as Poe's expression of his own theory of the short story a review regarded as the first American attempt to define the short story as a literary genre -- he noted that the tale "Howe's Masquerade" bore numerous similarities to his own "Willam Wilson." Also included is Harriet Beecher Stowe's 45-page tale "Deacon Enos" about the dishonest property dealings between a deacon and a squire. THE GIFT is bound in the original maroon morocco that is elaborately stamped in gilt on both covers and on the spine. This copy is bright and would be FINE except that on the border of the rear cover there is a one-inch area where the sheen of the leather and a narrow gilt line are affected; all nine plates none pertains to the Poe story are present and have much less foxing than usual.

More traditional book descriptions are immediately available</p><p>The third edition of Adam & Charles Black's collected edition of the works of Poe. This is <strong>Volume II</strong> of the four volume set. A central figure of Romanticism in the United States Poe is now best known for his poetry and short stories particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. Edgar Allan Poe born Edgar Poe; January 19 1809 – October 7 1849 was an American writer poet editor and literary critic who is best known for his poetry and short stories particularly his tales involving mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as one of the central figures of Romanticism and Gothic fiction in the United States and of early American literature. Poe was one of the country's first successful practitioners of the short story and is generally considered to be one of the pioneers of the detective fiction genre. In addition he is credited with contributing significantly to the emergence of science fiction. He is the first well-known American writer to earn a living exclusively through writing which resulted in a financially difficult life and career. Poe was born in Boston. He was the second child of actors David and Elizabeth "Eliza" Poe. His father abandoned the family in 1810 and when Eliza died the following year Poe was taken in by John and Frances Allan of Richmond Virginia. They never formally adopted him but he lived with them well into young adulthood. Poe attended the University of Virginia but left after only a year due to a lack of money. He frequently quarreled with John Allan over the funds needed to continue his education as well as his gambling debts. In 1827 having enlisted in the United States Army under the assumed name of Edgar A. Perry he published his first collection Tamerlane and Other Poems which was credited only to "a Bostonian". Poe and Allan reached a temporary rapprochement after the death of Allan's wife Frances in 1829. However Poe later failed as an officer cadet at West Point declared his intention to become a writer primarily of poems and parted ways with Allan. Poe switched his focus to prose and spent the next several years working for literary journals and periodicals becoming known for his own style of literary criticism. His work forced him to move between several cities including Baltimore Philadelphia and New York City. In 1836 when he was 27 he married his 13-year-old cousin Virginia Clemm. She died of tuberculosis in 1847. In January 1845 he published his poem "The Raven" to instant success. He planned for years to produce his own journal The Penn later renamed The Stylus – but before it began publishing Poe died in Baltimore in 1849 aged 40 under mysterious circumstances. The cause of his death remains unknown and has been attributed to many causes including disease alcoholism substance abuse and suicide. Poe's works influenced the development of literature throughout the world and even impacted such specialized fields as cosmology and cryptography. Since his death he and his writings have appeared throughout popular culture in such fields as art photography literary allusions music motion pictures and television. Several of his homes are dedicated museums. In addition The Mystery Writers of America presents an annual Edgar Award for distinguished work in the mystery genre.</p><p>NOTE: This is an original book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don computer scientist food and wine connoisseur Jack Arnold LANG. Note: Jack founded the Michelin Guide 'Midsummer House'- Cambridge's paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. </p><p>In 2008 Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation alongside other members of the Department and acted as the Foundation's Chair. The project's original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a "success disaster" as Jack would say as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK's most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning.</p> Adam & Charles Black. hardcover
