Poe Spaces

This edited volume examines the life, works, and influence of Edgar Allan Poe from a variety of critical, biographical, and literary-historical perspectives through diverse lenses of spatiality. Eighteen contributions offer spatially-oriented investigations of the critical, intellectual, cultural, philosophical, and political spaces wherein Poe defined himself as a critic and artist. The collection comes together in four parts focusing on the Temporal and Atemporal Spaces, Social and Political Spaces, Imaginative and Psychological Spaces, and Transnational and Translated Spaces. Authors from the US, Japan, Spain, France, and Portugal represent Poe’s pervasive and ongoing international influence.
