Poe Edgar Allan
The Raven. And Other Poems.
New York: Wiley and Putnam 1845. Rare first edition in book form of Poe's famed work. Octavo bound in three quarters morocco over marbled boards gilt titles to the spine raised bands. In very good condition with some light foxing and usual wear. BAL 16147. The Raven is a narrative poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. First published in January 1845 the poem is often noted for its musicality stylized language and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover tracing the man's slow fall into madness. The lover often identified as being a student is lamenting the loss of his love Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas the raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". The poem makes use of a number of folk mythological religious and classical references. Biographer Hervey Allen: The most important volume of poetry that had been issued up to that time in America. In this little volume the weary wayworn wanderer had successfully reached his own native shore in the realm of imagination" Grolier 100 American 56. Poe considered "The Raven" to be his finest poem--indeed he was quoted as saying it was the finest poem ever written. Wiley and Putnam hardcover books

Poe Edgar Allan
Eureka: A Prose Poem.
New York: George P. Putnam 1848. First edition first issue of Poe's classic work. Duodecimo original publishers blind stamped black cloth with gilt lettering to the spine. First issue without the review for Eureka on page 2 of the 16 page catalogue at the end of the book but reads simply: "Poe. -- Eureka A Prose Poem: Or the Physical and Metaphysical Universe. By Edgar A. Poe Esq." In very good condition with some light rubbing to the extremities contemporary inscription to the front free endpaper. Housed in a custom cloth box. A nice bright example of this rare and important text. Poe considered Eureka his magnum opus but Putnam only agreed to publish 500 copies due to the unique nature of the material. Eureka has often been misunderstood and ridiculed but it is in fact a remarkable precursor of several modern theories of physics and a powerful essay on the material and spiritual universe. Poe hypothesized that the universe began at a set point in the past and was finite rather than infinite. In arguing that the Universe of Stars must be finite he appeals to the evidence of observed experience. Poe wrote "Were the succession of stars endless then the background of the sky would present us an uniform luminosity like that displayed by the Galaxy-since there could be absolutely no point in all that background at which would not exist a star. The only mode therefore in which under such a state of affairs we could comprehend the voids which our telescopes find in innumerable directions would be by supposing the distance of the invisible background so immense that no ray from it has yet been able to reach us at all. That this may be so who shall venture to deny I maintain simply that we have not even the shadow of a reason for believing that it is so." BAL 16153. George P. Putnam hardcover books

Several of the stories contained in the present volume rank among the best known in the literary canon including: The Gold-Bug The Black Cat The Fall of The House of Usher and The Purloined Letter.

"Poe constantly and inevitably produced magic where his greatest contemporaries produced only beauty. There is really nothing to be said about it; we others simply take off our hats and let Mr. Poe go first" George Bernard Shaw. Wiley and Putnam hardcover books

Poe Edgar Allan; Clarke Harry Illustrations
Tales of Mystery and Imagination
New York: Tudor Publishing Co 1933. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/near fine. Clarke Harry. First Tudor edition quarto size 412 pp. with original publisher's dust jacket and box. Edgar Allan Poe 1809-1849 needs no introduction as the master of the macabre. He gained a reputation as a popular writer and became a household name by 1845 although he continued to struggle financially for the rest of his life. One of the first writers to attempt to make a living solely off his work Poe's work greatly affected the burgeoning genres of horror and science fiction and much of his work explores the tumultuous depths of the human psyche. <br/><br/>The tales are perfectly complemented by the artwork of Harry Henry Patrick Clarke 1890-1931 who would become a leading figure in the arts and crafts movement. Clarke was apprenticed as a glass-maker to his father the head of a large firm of stained glass artists in 1906. An accomplished glass artist whose work can be seen in both secular and religious settings Clarke's illustrations can be compared to that of Aubrey Beardsley Kay Nielson and Edmund Dulac taken up during the tail end of what was considered the Golden Age of Illustration; his work is often imbued with a sinister atmosphere also exemplified by Beardsley and which come to full force in this work. <br/><br/>A stunning example the volume incredibly clean and fresh in a dust jacket that is clean and bright and with the original box: Poe's "Tales" with Clarke's illustrations as they were meant to be. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full black cloth over boards gilt decoration and lettering on the spine paper label mounted onto front board with an illustration by Clarke in black and white over a half-gold ground above black lettering and decorations top edge stained black black endpapers tipped-in colour frontispiece title page with small illustration by Clarke seven additional full-colour plates by Clarke bound in throughout plus twenty-four pages of black and white illustrations two of the pages constitute a single double-spread illustration chapter tailpieces by Clarke throughout; quarto size 10 5/8" by 8 1/4" pagination: 1-8 9-412 followed by a half-page Clark vignette. With the publisher's dust jacket Clark illustrations on front and spine in black white and yellow black lettering on front and spine on a yellow ground the rest of the jacket coal-black other than the inner portions of the flaps which are plain white free of lettering or ornamentation. Contained within the publisher's box the sides covered with black paper the bottom with plain white paper the top with a mounted white page with blue ruled borders enclosing one of the full-colour illustrations with black lettering both above and below. <br/><br/>___CONDITION: Volume fine overall the binding clean and unworn the paper label on the front clean and without any wear straight corners without rubbing a strong square text block with solid hinges the interior is clean and bright and entirely free of prior owner markings; the colour frontis slightly creased at the bottom gutter corner from catching when the book was closed as it was tipped in at the top not mounted else fine; clean crisp and almost as new. The dust jacket is unclipped although without a printed price clean the colours deep and bright utterly unfaded with a minimum of light scattered overall wear the most noticeable to the two front corners with very small loss to the lower front corner. The publisher's box a solid very good with minor overall soiling the lid with two seams just beginning to break and a bit of wear to the black paper the bottom with a bit more wear and two seams partially split however still sturdy. <br/><br/>___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details.<br/><br/>___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

Poe Edgar Allen
Mesmerism "in articulo mortis
London: Short & Co 1846. <p>Poe Edgar Allan 1809-49. Mesmerism "in articulo mortis." An astounding & horrifying narrative shewing the extraordinary power of mesmerism in arresting the progress of death. 16pp. London: Short & Co. 1846. 213 x 138 mm. Without wrappers as issued; preserved in a cloth folding case. Light toning but a fine copy. Bookplate of American book collector Edward Hubert Litchfield 1879-1949.</p> <p> First Separate Edition of Poe's gruesome short story on the occult "powers" of mesmerism originally published under the title "The facts in the case of M. Valdemar" in The American Whig Review of December 1845. "Poe plays with the idea that a dying person may be so imbued with magnetic fluid by a mesmerist that he can remain although dead in a kind of suspended death for months until released by the mesmerist—at which point his body immediately turns into a pile of stinking putrid slime. Taking it to be factual people seriously debated whether such a horrifying use of mesmerism was possible and condemned it on the assumption that it was" Waterfield Hidden Depths: The Story of Hypnosis p. 146. "Mesmerism ‘in articulo mortis'" was the last of three mesmeric tales Poe wrote in 1844 and 1845; although these works "were essentially literary it is also significant that these works were written in the style of scientific texts . . . Although Poe's intentions remain somewhat ambiguous leading some critics to suggest that he may have actually attempted to perpetrate a literary hoax it is important to acknowledge that these works were published and received as legitimate contributions to the field of science and thus they offer insight into the assumptions and expectations of the scientific community" Enns p. 65. Enns "Mesmerism and the electric age: From Poe to Edison" in Willis & Wynne eds. Victorian Literary Mesmerism pp. 61-82. Heartman & Canny A Bibliography of the First Printings of the Writings of Edgar Allan Poe p. 111. </p> . Short & Co unknown books

Pollin Burton R. editor; Poe Edgar Allan
Word Index to Poe's Fiction Poe Edgar Allan
New York: Gordian Press 1982. First Edition. Cloth. Fine. First Edition. 3 xviii 485 pages. 4to. 8 x 10 inches. Publisher's blue cloth gilt. A new copy. Cloth. "This volume was developed in response to an urgent need for an instrument to authenticate unsigned texts of Poe that he could have inserted into the journals that he edited during his energetic editorial career: Southern Literary Messenger Burton's Gentleman's Magazine Graham's Magazine The Mirror and the Broadway Journal. In addition it can and I trust will serve many other purposes for students of the words of Edgar Allan Poe: the analysis of his style and vocabulary his characteristic and underlying concepts his broad range of allusion and his language transformations. There was an obvious need for such a key to the integrated body of his fiction to accompany the 1941 Bradford Booth Claude Jones concordance to the very small corpus of his poetry." from the introduction<br/><br/>A rather herculean task before computers were in regular use for this sort of task.
