From his exquisite lyric \"To Helen,\" to his immortal masterpieces, \"Annabel Lee,\" \"The Bells,\" and \"The Raven,\" Poe stands beside the celebrated English romantic poets Shelley, Byron, and Keats, and his haunting, sensuous poetic vision profoundly influenced the Victorian giants Swinburne, Tennyson, and Rossetti. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eToday his dark side speaks eloquently to contemporary readers in poems such as \"The Haunted Palace\" and \"The Conqueror Worm,\" with their powerful images of madness and the macabre. But even at the end of his life, Poe reached out to his art for comfort and courage, giving us in \"Eldorado\" a talisman to hold during our darkest moments--a timeless gift from a great American writer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncludes an Introduction by Jay Parini \u003cbr\u003eand an Afterword by April Bernard\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdgar Allan Poe \u003c\/b\u003ewas born in Boston in 1809, but was orphaned in 1811 and went to live with a foster family in Virginia. The relationship was conflicted, and the Allans withdrew their financial support after Poe had completed only one semester at the University of Virginia. He enlisted in the Army, then enrolled briefly in West Point, meanwhile publishing three volumes of poetry: \u003ci\u003eTamerlane\u003c\/i\u003e (1827), \u003ci\u003eAl Aaraaf \u003c\/i\u003e(1829), and \u003ci\u003ePoems\u003c\/i\u003e (1831). From 1831 to 1835, he lived in Baltimore with his aunt, where despite his increasing literary success, he began a lifelong struggle with poverty and addiction to alcohol. In May 1836, he married his first cousin, Virginia Clemm, a child of thirteen. In April 1844, he moved his family to New York, and in January of the following year, his literary fortunes turned when his poem \"The Raven\" appeared in the \u003ci\u003eNew York Evening News\u003c\/i\u003e. Overnight, he became the most talked-about man of letters in America. Early in 1847 his wife died of tuberculosis and he sank further into alcoholism. On October 3, 1849 he was found wandering the streets of Baltimore, delirious, and died four days later from an unknown cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 6.8 x 4.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 07, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53337032130925,"sku":"9780451531056","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/0823\/9213\/files\/aG1TN1BDNFNzYmxDbFpncGdKTmlZUT09.webp?v=1778922891","url":"https:\/\/cleanfreaklab.myshopify.com\/products\/the-complete-poetry-of-edgar-allan-poe-paperback","provider":"Clean Freak Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
