Review
"Edgar Allan Poe virtually invented the detective story, and Kopley reveals unexpected dimensions of his important discovery through an innovative combination of close reading, genetic criticism, and biography. Kopley's diligent research and astute literary analysis illuminate the meanings and contexts of Poe's detective stories in fresh ways. This book will be of great value to scholars of Poe and the American Renaissance."--David S. Reynolds, author of "Waking Giant: America in the Age of Jackson ""This rich synthesis of primary source research and secondary criticism reveals much about Poe's reading, his sources of inspiration, and his creative process. Kopley's study underscores the continued value and vitality of original archival discovery to the study of our major American authors."--Kent P. Ljungquist, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Product Description
