Reviews
"""This remarkable book provides the ""authoritative and state-of-the-art survey of current thinking and research"" promised on the dust jacket... the book is an exceptional achievement."" -- T. Ware, CHOICE ""This Handbook brings much intellectual heft to its subjectâThat accessibility combined with the book's sweeping coverage make it a fine starting point for undergraduates and newcomers. At the same time, its muscular innovation is sue to move Poe studies into deeper unfolding, wider investigation, and vigorous debate for years to come. Ambitiously assembled and brilliantly realized, The Oxford Handbook of Edgar Allan Poe is a monumental event in Poe studies."" -- Jason Richards, Rhodes College, ALH Online Review ""As with most of Oxford's recent handbooks, this particular text seeks to serve the function of orienting scholars who may be new to Poe scholarship as well as pushing the boundaries of the field by marking the emergent terrain. This text succeeds admirably in accomplishing both tasks [...] This is a text that should form part of the research library for any serious Poe scholar."" -- Adam Bradford, Poe Studies"
