Description

This selection of critical writings, short fiction and poetry demonstrates Poeโ€™s intense interest in aesthetic issues and the astonishing power and imagination with which he probed the darkest corners of the human mind. โ€œThe Fall of the House of Usherโ€ describes the final hours of a family tormented by tragedy and the legacy of the past. In โ€œThe Tell Tale Heartโ€, a murderer’s insane delusions threaten to betray him, while stories such as โ€œThe Pit and the Pendulumโ€ and โ€œThe Cask of Amontilladoโ€ explore extreme states of decadence, fear and hate.
