Description

The listing, Edgar Allan Poe - His Life and Legacy has ended.

This biography of Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), a giant of American literature who invented both the horror and detective genres, is a portrait of extremes: a disinherited heir, a brilliant but exploited author and editor, a man who veered radically from temperance to rampant debauchery, an agnostic who sought a return to religion at the end of his life. Acclaimed biographer Jeffrey Meyers explores the writer's turbulent life and career, including his marriage and multiple, simultaneous romances, his literary feuds, and his death at an early age under bizarre and troubling circumstances.

My daughter and i are home schooling this coming year and i think this would fit in perfectly with our curriculum.

How old is your daughter? It is a very good source of information, but is written for a bit older person...at least upper middle school.

I am helping my daughter to home school her children since i am a retired teacher. The boys are 11 and 13. The thirteen year old is in advanced courses and i think this would be great to acquaint him with the works and history of Edgar Allen Poe.

Now this is an auction. I've only seen two people post anything related to Poe and you are one of them. :) Poe is by far my favorite writer. Definitely gonna be watching this one.

This would go perfectly next to the biography of Houdini I have on my shelf.

I really did want this so that my grandson could learn some history about one of the great authors in literature but i guess someone else wants it on their bookshelf more so i have to unfortunately stop bidding.
