Description
Excerpt from Selected Poems and Tales of Edgar Allan Poe: Edited With Introduction and Notes by Charles Marshall Graves, B. A The life of Edgar Allan' Poe, of all American men of letters, is by far the most interesting to study. He was the child of the direst poverty and of the greatest genius. Between his lowly birth and his tragic death Poe felt a degree of joy given to few men to feel and drank the cup of bitterness to the dregs. Since his death in Baltimore, Sunday morning, October 7, 1849, his fame has increased in all lands. This can be said of few American writers. Tennyson declared of Poe in 1885: He is the literary glory of America. More than thirty five years have elapsed since his death, and his fame is constantly increasing. That is the true test of genius. Like Homer all places claim him: Boston, for his birth; Richmond, Philadelphia and New York for his residence at various times in these cities; and Baltimore for his death. The truth is, he belongs to the nation and to humanity at large and his works are the heritage of the civilized people of all coming times. Few men have had such power in the use of words as Poe, and his writings are of the greatest value for critical study among students and lovers of the chief classics in the language.
