This collection includes poetry and prose including "The Conqueror Worm" "The Fall of the House of Usher" "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" and "The Pit and the Pendulum".about the authorThere has never been any doubt about Poe's enormous literary significance but with regard to his ultimate artistic merit there has been considerable disagreement. To some he is little more than a successful charlatan whose literary performances are only a virtuoso's display of stunning but finally shallow effects. Others however are struck by Poe's profound probing of the human psyche his philosophical sophistication and his revolutionary attitude toward literary language. No doubt both sides of this argument are in part true in their assessments. Poe's work is very uneven sometimes reaching great literary heights at other times striking the honest reader as meaningless pathetic or simply wrong-headed. This is not surprising considering the personal turmoil that characterized so much of Poe's short life. Poe was extreme in his literary views and practices; balance and equilibrium were not literary values that he prized. Scorning the didactic element in poetry Poe sought to separate beauty from morality. In his best poems such as "The City in the Sea" 1836 he achieved an intensification of sound sufficient to threaten the common sense of the poetic line and release a buried even a morbid sense that would enchant the reader by the sonic pitch of the poem. Defining poetry as "the rhythmic creation of beauty" Poe not only sought the dream buried beneath the poetic vision---Coleridge had already done that---but also abandoned the moral rationale that gave the buried dream symbolic meaning. The dream or nightmare was itself the content of the verse. Some readers however such as T. S. Eliot have found Poe's poetry extremely limited both in its content and in its technique. While it is true that Poe was one of the few American poets to achieve international fame during the nineteenth century critics point out that his influence on such literary movements as French symbolism and literary modernism was largely through the superb translations and criticisms of his writings by Baudelaire see Vol. 2 Mallarme see Vol. 2 and Valery see Vol. 2. Poe's theory of the short story as well as his own achievements in that genre contributed substantially to the development of the modern short story in Europe as well as in the United States. Poe himself regarded his talent for fiction writing as of less importance than his poetry and criticism. His public preferred his detective stories such as "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" 1841 "The Mystery of Marie Roget" 1842--1843 and "The Gold Bug" 1843; and his analytic tales such as "A Descent into the Maelstrom" 1841 "The Black Cat" 1843 and "The Premature Burial" 1844. His own preference however was for the works of the imagination such as "Ligeia" 1838 "The Fall of the House of Usher" 1839 and "The Masque of the Red Death" 1842 tales of horror beyond that of the plausible kind found in the analytic stories. Just as with his poetry however readers have been strongly divided in their appreciation of the deeper worth of Poe's fiction. For many they are at best merely an effective display in Gothicism good horror stories an enjoyable experience in vicarious terror but nothing more. This was the view of Henry James that other great nineteenth-century master of the ghost story who claimed that "an enthusiasm for Poe is the mark of a decidedly primitive stage of reflection." But others have found in these carefully crafted pieces something far more profound a way of seeing into our unconscious that place where for a while at least terrifying conflicts coexist. As Poe so well put it himself in the preface to his Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque 1840 "If in many of my productions terror has been the basis I maintain that terror is not of Germany but of the soul.

The first two volumes appeared first in 1850 with the third and fourth separately in 1856. It appears our original owner was a latecomer to the game snagging the fourth volume when first released along with later printings of the first three to complete the set. The set was edited by Rufus Wilmot Griswold who began his pseudonymously-published obituary in the New York Tribune "Edgar Allan Poe is dead. He died in Baltimore the day before yesterday. This announcement will startle many but few will be grieved by it." Griswold went on to become a regular assassin of Poe's character all the while claiming Poe had appointed him as his literary executor. No evidence ever appeared to prove as much which did not stop Griswold from keeping the profits from the sales of the set along with the manuscript materials sent to him by the author's mother-in-law and only paying in return six sets of the initial two volumes. As Griswold admitted in a 1849 letter to poet Sarah Helen Whitman two months after the obituary's publication "I was not his friend nor was he mine. Redfield unknown‎
