Poe in Quarantine Selected Works of Edgar Allan Poe

Author Name: Abijit Radhakrishna, Maria Mathews | Format: Paperback | Genre : Literature & Fiction | Other Details

Poe’s oeuvre is characterized by a recurring sense of melancholy, often viewed by literary critics as an echo of his own tragic experiences. His characters are reclusive, with a fondness for deep contemplation. Reading further into the nuances of some of his works in the light of a global pandemic, it has been noticed that Poe plays with isolation – or quarantine – to form a canvas upon which he lets his characters paint themselves. This anthology includes some of Poe’s finest works, reading which can open new avenues of interpretations owing to our newfound familiarity with quarantine and how it affects the psyche.
