Description
1859 Works of EDGAR ALLAN POE Arthur Gordon Pym Loss of Breath Dr. Tarr Poetry



“The Works of the Late Edgar Allan Poe. Volume IV. Arthur Gordon Pym, etc.” is a compilation of Edgar Allan Poes diverse writings, featuring a mix of genres from nautical adventures to dark comedy provided by the collective efforts of Rufus Wilmot Griswold, Nathaniel Parker Willis, and James Russell Lowell.



The collection opens with Poes only complete novel, “The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket,” an intriguing sea voyage narrative infused with elements of horror, survival, and unexplained phenomena. The storys protagonist experiences shipwreck, mutiny, and cannibalism, among other harrowing ordeals. The book also includes various other works, such as “The System of Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether,” a story set in a French mental asylum, and “Loss of Breath,” a satirical tale poking fun at 19th-century medical culture. Other included pieces range from critiques on literary practices to discussions on pseudoscience and transcendentalism. This compilation aimed to preserve the essential works that Poe himself would have wished to be remembered for.
