 | Edgar Allan Poe and the Masses: |
ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS: "Uncovering previously elided socioeconomic aspects of Poe's scene of writing Terence Whalen's book constitutes a major contribution to Poe criticism. Edgar Allan Poe and the Masses exhibits astute theoretical reach, original archival research, and sensitive, close readings of Poe's fiction and journalism."--Louis A. Renza, Dartmouth College "Cultural critics have been concerned with the economic conditions of book publishing and journalism, often in quite general terms; and there are scholars who have been interested in Edgar Allan Poe's work, who have gone to the archives, verified texts, established historical contexts. Whalen, however, is the rare case of a critic who has a sharp theoretical mind and has done archival work; he knows his texts. In the course of this book, Whalen has managed to revise many of the common assumptions about Poe's career as a writer. Simply stated, this is a major book."--Lilian Weissberg, University of Pennsylvania File created: 11/5/2011 | |
