Most people know the name of Edgar Allan Poe, but few know that, at the age of 20, he single handedly invented the literary horror story and the short story as we know it today, but that most of his stories pale in comparison to his own life filled with death and horror. Edgar Allan Poe: A Light and Enlightening Look is a thoroughly entertaining fifty-two minute video program featuring Professor Elliot Engel. Parts of the program were shot on location in Richmond, Virginia, where Poe lived for many years. Professor Elliot Engel brings Edgar Allan Poe to life in a way that will appeal to young and old alike. Using anecdote, analysis, and large doses of humor, he gives new insights in the background, life, and accomplishment of this great master of American literature. Edgar Allan Poe: A Light and Enlightening Look is the second video in the Writing Wonders Series produced by Media Consultants and featuring Professor Elliot Engel. [Professor Engel] uses a captivating mixture of humor, drama, and pathos to introduce us to an author most of us know only through his works, but whose life is just as morbid and fascinating as anything he wrote on paper. Poe remains one of the most important figures in English literature and his story deserves to be told with the respect and detail that Elliot Engel provides.

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), son of itinerant actors, holds a secure place in the firmament of history as America's first master of suspense. Displaying scant interest in native scenes or materials, Edgar Allan Poe seems the most un-American of American writers during the era of literary nationalism; yet he was at the same time a pragmatic magazinist, fully engaged in popular culture and intensely concerned with the "republic of letters" in the United States. This Historical Guide contains an introduction that considers the tensions between Poe's "otherworldly" settings and his historically marked representations of violence, as well as a capsule biography situating Poe in his historical context. The subsequent essays in this book cover such topics as Poe and the American Publishing Industry, Poe's Sensationalism, his relationships to gender constructions, and Poe and American Privacy. The volume also includes a bibliographic essay, a chronology of Poe's life, a bibliography, illustrations, and an index.

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American original-a luminous literary theorist, an erratic genius, and an analyst par excellence of human obsession and compulsion. The scope of his literary achievements and the dramatic character of Poe's life have drawn readers and critics to him in droves. And yet, upon his death, one obituary penned by a literary enemy in the New York Daily Tribune cascaded into a lasting stain on Poe's character, leaving a historic misunderstanding. Many remember Poe as a difficult, self-pitying, troubled drunkard often incapable of caring for himself. Poe reclaims the Baltimore and Virginia writer's reputation and power, retracing Poe's life and career. Biographer and critic James M. Hutchisson captures the boisterous worlds of literary New York and Philadelphia in the 1800s to understand why Poe wrote the way he did and why his achievement was so important to American literature. The biography presents a critical overview of Poe's major works and his main themes, techniques, and imaginative preoccupations. This portrait of the writer emphasizes Poe's southern identity; his existence as a workaday journalist in the burgeoning magazine era; his authority as a literary critic and cultural arbiter; his courtly demeanor and sense of social propriety; his advocacy of women writers; his adaptation of art forms as diverse as the so-called "gutter press" and the haunting rhythms of African American spirituals; his borrowing of imagery from such popular social movements as temperance and freemasonry; and his far-reaching, posthumous influence. James M. Hutchisson, Charleston, South Carolina, is a professor of American literature and southern studies at The Citadel.
