Since their first publication in the 1830s and 1840s, Edgar Allan Poe’s extraordinary Gothic tales have established themselves as classics of horror fiction and have also created many of the conventions which still dominate the genre of detective fiction. As well as being highly enjoyable, Poe’s tales are works of very real intellectual exploration. Attentive to the historical and political dimensions of these very American tales, this new selection places the most popular – ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’, ‘The Masque of the Red Death’, ‘The Murders in the Rue Morgue’; and ‘The Purloined Letter’ – alongside less well-known travel narratives, metaphysical essays and political satires.
