“Hear the sledges with the bells, Silver bells, what a world of merriment their melody foretells!”

– Poe, ‘The Bells’

 

Edgar Allan Poe is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and American literature, and he was one of the country’s earliest practitioners of the short story. Poe is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction.

 

According to Kramer on this edition:

“this has remained the standard edition of Poe.” (Kramer, History of Stone & Kimball, 35).

 

At the time of publication, this 1895 first edition was the first complete and true edition of Poe’s works, accompanied by critical introductions and notes by Edmund Clarence Stedman and George Edward Woodberry with illustrations by Albert Edward Sterner. This set contains the final paragraph of “Plagiarism,” “An Author’s Face,” “Apothegms,” “Hyperism,” and the eleven pieces on pp.336-349. It also has the first American publication of “The Journal of Julius Rodman” in volume V.
