OverviewThe contributors to this volume share the conviction that Poe is central to current work on American culture - that strictly theoretical approaches to Poe have become increasingly irrelevant. Aiming to transform his place in the American canon, they bring theoretical awareness to bear on the particular historical, social, political and economic circumstances of his literary career. Their essays offer new insights into the complex relations between traditionally literary issues and the broader aspects of a democratic mass culture.

Table of ContentsReviewsAvoiding the mere Frenchification of Poe that was dominant in the eighties, on the one hand, but, on the other, steadfastly refusing to return to the traditional formalist and thematic style which never really accounted for the French Poe, these essays make a wonderful case for a vitally social Poe--returning him home again, but with a difference that makes all the difference. They do so because their authors are at once theoretically current and widely experienced with the American canon. And they do so, even more, because they are quality essays, valuable individually as well as collectively. --Kenneth Dauber, State University of New York, Buffalo """Avoiding the mere Frenchification of Poe that was dominant in the eighties, on the one hand, but, on the other, steadfastly refusing to return to the traditional formalist and thematic style which never really accounted for the French Poe, these essays make a wonderful case for a vitally social Poe--returning him home again, but with a difference that makes all the difference.
