Selections from Poe
Selections from Poe is a school edition of Edgar Allan Poe's poems and tales, edited by J. Montgomery Gambrill of the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, with a biographical and critical introduction, a bibliography and notes. The poems run from early lyrics such as "Romance," "To Science" and "To Helen" through "Israfel," "The City in the Sea," "Lenore" and "The Conqueror Worm" to "The Raven," "Ulalume," "The Bells," "Annabel Lee" and "Eldorado." The tales are "The Fall of the House of Usher," "William Wilson," "A Descent into the Maelström," "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Gold-Bug" and "The Purloined Letter." The editor aims to give students a fair picture of a writer still surrounded by controversy. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
