This collection features classic short stories and poems by the nineteenth century literary giants, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville. Their masterpieces of mystery, terror and the supernatural abound with irony and symbolism and have been eulogized by world-renowned authors: Poe's verses illustrate an intense faculty for technical and abstract beauty, with the rhyming art to excess, an incorrigible propensity toward nocturnal themes, a demonic undertone behind every page - and, by final judgement, probably belong among the electric lights of imaginative literature, brilliant and dazzling... Walt Whitman, Edgar Poe's Significance, The Critic, II, 1882 The story of the Lady Ligeia is not merely one of the wonders of literature: it is unparalleled and unapproached. George Bernard Shaw, Edgar Allan Poe, Nation, 1909 ... in the field of letters, Hawthorne is the most valuable example of the American genius. Henry James, Hawthorne, 1879 Melville at his best invariably wrote from a sort of dreamself, so that events which he relates as actual fact have indeed a far deeper reference to his own soul, his own inner life. Melville was, at the core, a mystic and an idealist D. H. Lawrence, Studies in Classic American Literature, 1923 The book includes 10 unique illustrations and the following works: Ligeia The Fall of the House of Usher The Tell-Tale Heart The Black Cat The Cask of Amontillado The Pit and the Pendulum Dream-Land The Raven Ulalume The Birthmark Young Goodman Brown The Minister's Black Veil Rappaccini's Daughter Roger Malvin's Burial The Darken'd Veil Forms of Heroes Bartleby, The Scrivener: A Story of Wall-Street The Martyr The Maldive Shark The Berg (A Dream) Look-Out Mountain (The Night Fight)
