Edgar A. Poe - Mournful and Never-ending Remembrance
By Kenneth Silverman
Published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson : London 1992 1st Edition 1st Printing
With Original Unclipped Dustjacket

" Kenneth Silverman's Edgar A. Poe: Mournful and Never-ending Remembrance is a major modern biography of Edgar Allan Poe, drawing upon extensive research to reconstruct the extraordinary and often tragic life of one of America's most influential writers. Silverman follows Poe from his orphaned childhood and troubled relationship with his foster family through his education, military service and precarious literary career, examining the poverty, personal losses and emotional upheavals that accompanied his development as poet, critic, editor and author.

Silverman places Poe firmly within the literary and social world of nineteenth-century America, exploring his sometimes combative relationships with fellow writers and critics, his marriage to his young cousin Virginia Clemm, and the devastating effect of her prolonged illness and death. Alongside the biography, he examines the relationship between Poe's experiences and the recurring themes of death, memory, loss and obsession within his writing. Particular attention is given to Poe's pioneering contribution to the detective and mystery story and to the macabre literature for which he became internationally renowned. The work was widely acclaimed on publication for combining meticulous scholarship with an absorbing portrait of its complex subject.

First published in Great Britain by Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London, in 1992, this is the First British Edition, First Printing, issued in red cloth and retaining its striking original unclipped pictorial dustjacket. The substantial biography also includes 16 pages of illustrations, adding an important visual record to Silverman's account. Regarded as one of the significant scholarly biographies of Poe, this is an attractive first-edition copy of an important reference work for collectors of Edgar Allan Poe, Gothic literature and nineteenth-century American literary history."
