[Gutenberg 17389] • The Dreamer: A Romantic Rendering of the Life-Story of Edgar Allan Poe

Mary Newton-Stanard's study of Edgar Allan Poe traces the foundations of young Poe back to London where he developed into one of the most respected authors in American literature. Newton-Stanard's story is a romantic tale, creating a picture of the writer that may be true to the spirit if not to the letter. In many instances the words and opinions placed in Poe's mouth are his own, extracted from his published works or his letters.
