Edgar Allen Poe was born in 1809. Poe was a poet, author, and literary critic. He is one of the leading authors of the Romantic period. His tales of the macabre have delighted and scared readers. He is considered the founder of the detective/fiction genre and contributed to the popularity of science fiction. This collection contains Memoir, Poems of Later Life, Poems of Manhood, Scenes from Politian, Poems of Youth, Doubtful Poems, and Prose Poems. There are also three essays: The Poetic Principle, The Philosophy of Composition, and Old English Poetry.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Free, but possibly not worth it,

This review is from: Edgar Allan Poe's Complete Poetical Works (Kindle Edition)
I can't complain too much about free content, however, the format makes it almost not worth the time trying to decipher the titles and actually get to the poems. The contents contains no links to individual poems so you have to page through the entire volume to get where you want to go. Additionally, none of the poem titles that are listed in the contents are separated by punctuation; they read as one long continuous line of text, which needless to say, is unacceptable. Very poor presentation overall.

2393 pages and no table of contents? Really?!,

This review is from: Edgar Allan Poe's Complete Poetical Works (Kindle Edition)
How are you expected to get to what you want without a table of contents?! It is tedious to find the poem or story you want. You can book mark it, but you have no way of naming what you bookmarked so you are left with whatever excerpt of the top of the page you marked. Meaning that if you bookmarked The Raven, the excerpt was whatever poem finished at the top of the page since The Raven starts in the middle.

terrible layout for an e-book,
By Get Over It (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Edgar Allan Poe's Complete Poetical Works (Kindle Edition)
Zero formatting for the poetry. The Raven was presented as prose. Spend a dollar and get it done right.
