Editorial Review:
|
Edgar Allen Poe was born in 1809. Poe was a poet, author, and literary critic. He is one of the leading authors of the Romantic period. His tales of the macabre have delighted and scared readers. He is considered the founder of the detective/fiction genre and contributed to the popularity of science fiction. This collection contains Memoir, Poems of Later Life, Poems of Manhood, Scenes from Politian, Poems of Youth, Doubtful Poems, and Prose Poems. There are also three essays: The Poetic Principle, The Philosophy of Composition, and Old English Poetry.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Kindle Review
Comment: This is one of my best deal purchases and something I have really enjoyed reading on the Kindle. Although, the book or books, however you look at it, takes a while to read; it is well worth the purchase and a very good read.
Customer Rating:
Summary: 2393 pages and no table of contents? Really?!
Comment: How are you expected to get to what you want without a table of contents?! It is tedious to find the poem or story you want. You can book mark it, but you have no way of naming what you bookmarked so you are left with whatever excerpt of the top of the page you marked. Meaning that if you bookmarked The Raven, the excerpt was whatever poem finished at the top of the page since The Raven starts in the middle.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Free, but possibly not worth it
Comment: I can't complain too much about free content, however, the format makes it almost not worth the time trying to decipher the titles and actually get to the poems. The contents contains no links to individual poems so you have to page through the entire volume to get where you want to go. Additionally, none of the poem titles that are listed in the contents are separated by punctuation; they read as one long continuous line of text, which needless to say, is unacceptable. Very poor presentation overall.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Nice Book of classics
Comment: What can I say, the formatting isn't that great and reading it on my gray low contrast kindle isn't the most fun, but this is a wonderful collection of stories.
Customer Rating:
Summary: terrible layout for an e-book
Comment: Zero formatting for the poetry. The Raven was presented as prose. Spend a dollar and get it done right.
