Dedicated to the memory of our late colleagues Chris Curnow and Turgut Dincer. "The poems of Edgar Allan Poe" by Edgar Allan Poe is a collection of poems written in the mid-19th century. It assembles his celebrated lyrics alongside earlier pieces and a few prose reflections on poetics, with themes centered on love, loss, beauty, death, and hypnotic sound. Readers can expect atmospheric ballads and elegies in which speakers are haunted by idealized, often lost women, and by dreamlike or macabre visions. The opening of the volume presents publisher material and a detailed contents list, followed by a substantial introduction that defends Poe’s character, sketches his hard-pressed life and career, and explains his craft—his emphasis on melody, refrain, brevity, and the non-didactic “poetic principle”—while reassessing “The Raven” among his other lyrics. It then reprints Poe’s modest 1845 preface and his dedication to Elizabeth Barrett Barrett. After this, the collection launches into signature poems—“The Raven,” “The Bells,” “Ulalume,” “Lenore,” “Annabel Lee,” and others—that stage grief, longing, and the supernatural through rich sound patterns and refrains, before moving into pieces like “The City in the Sea,” “The Conqueror Worm,” and “The Haunted Palace,” which deepen the gothic mood. The section closes by turning to poems written in youth, where early romantic yearning, classical invocations, and nocturnal imagery already show the seeds of his later voice.
