Upon publication, George E. Woodberry’s Edgar Allan Poe became recognized as the standard study of Poe. Both a biography and a work of criticism, Woodberry did not refrain from discussing Poe’s faults as well as his triumphs. Engaging and authoritative, the book presents the life and work of the man who wrote Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Fall of the House of Usher, and The Raven, among other landmark works.
