Résumé

Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque, the com­pan­ion vol­ume to Poe’s better-​known Tales of Mys­tery and Imag­i­na­tion, con­tains a selec­tion of his very best sto­ries, many of which first appeared in book form in the orig­i­nal Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque in 1840. Many of the sto­ries deal with the famil­iar Poe themes of mur­der, obses­sion and pas­sion, but this vol­ume also con­tains many often-​overlooked tales of the fan­tas­tic and comic, par­o­dies and hoaxes, includ­ing ‘The Unpar­al­leled Adven­ture of Hans Pfaall’, ‘Mes­meric Rev­e­la­tion’, ‘Hop-​Frog’, and & ‘The Imp of the Perverse’.The book includes a sec­tion in colour, and con­tains use­ful essays from notable schol­ars: an intro­duc­tion by Kevin J. Hayes and Ben­jamin F. Fisher on Poe and the gothic.engag­ing biog­ra­phy of Edgar Allen Poethe com­plete text in a mod­ern, read­able typefacean illus­trated pub­lish­ing his­tory of the talestime­line in colour of Poe’s worldcolour map of Poe’s America
