4.0 out of 5 stars
A very readable study of Poe,
By Rob V (Mass) - See all my reviews
This review is from: United States Authors Series - Edgar Allan Poe Revisited (Twayne's United States Authors Series) (Hardcover)
Scott Peeples has created a great overview for Edgar Allan Poe studies. This introduction takes a step-by-step approach at looking at a variety of categories of Poe's life and work, linking thematic similarities in both his more famous and not so famous writings. Peeples keeps this very approachable and very readable, not entirely focusing on the pyschoanalytic criticism that is often invasive in Poe studies. Even so, he grabs bits and pieces from a variety of Poe scholars throughout the years, from Mabbott to Silverman to Meyers to Hoffmann. This book will help you get started as a serious Poe scholar, though it certainly shouldn't end here. This is a good companinion to Poe works, but the serious Poe scholar should continue on to other biographies and criticisms as well!
