Produced by Distributed Proofreaders "Selections from Poe" by Edgar Allan Poe, edited by J. Montgomery Gambrill, is a collection of poems and tales that showcases the works of one of America's most iconic writers, created in the late 19th century. The compilation presents a thorough exploration of Edgar Allan Poe's range—from his melancholic poetry to his haunting short stories—illustrating the themes of love, loss, and the human condition that permeate his oeuvre. Through its selections, the editor aims to provide insights into Poe's complex character and literary artistry. At the start of the book, the editor outlines the challenges of introducing Poe's work due to his controversial legacy and the subjective nature of his writing. The introductory material delves into Poe's life, highlighting his tumultuous experiences from childhood to adulthood, including his early education, struggles with poverty, and the deep affection for his wife, Virginia, whose illness and death profoundly impacted him. The opening effectively sets the stage for a deeper understanding of Poe, touching upon key themes such as beauty, melancholy, and mortality, which resonate throughout the poems and stories that follow in the collection.
