Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American poet, critic, and short-story writer, famous for his cultivation of mystery and the macabre in fiction. In 1839 he became co-editor of "Burton’s Gentleman’s Magazine" in Philadelphia, for which he wrote some of his best-known stories of supernatural horror. His "Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque" appeared later in 1839 (dated 1840). In addition to his stories, Poe continued to write poetry, and his most famous poem, "The Raven," brought him national fame when it appeared in 1845. Several of his works, including the poem "The Bells," were published posthumously.
The complete works of Poe were compiled later, beginning in 1894, when scholars attempted to organize his prose. At the turn of the century, multiple collector sets were published, including this attractive 1904 set, which was a successful compilation of Poe’s tales. This five volume set includes famous short stories and poems such as "Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Island of Fey."
