An edition of Edgar Allan Poe, how to know him (1921)

Edgar Allan Poe; how to know him.

Appreciative criticisms of Poe’s work, accompanied by excerpts which form the bulk of the book. An introduction for the unacquainted reader.
— A.L.A. Catalog 1912-1921
“The first two chapters—The world-author, and The man – are devoted to a summary of his life and an appreciation of his character. The other four chapters, each with a critical introduction, give selections from his works in his various literary genus. They are: The critic; The poet: The writer of short stories; The frontiersman.”
“A detailed and informative discussion. The work of Poe as a critic is emphasized somewhat more than his better-known work as a creative artist.”
“The ‘real Poe’ with which he presents us is, to be frank, a very hazy figure, lost in the clouds of uncritical eulogy.”
– The Book Review Digest
