As the obsession with people dying and the happy acceptance of it seem to become a part of the discussion now, I can still see some relation to Poe’s writings, so I accept the apology.

Not so fast, it's not enough for the illustrator to be dead, he/she must have been dead for the last 70 years (I believe that's the number in the UK?).

“White Fang” was illustrated by Charles Livingston Bull who died in 1932. Case closed, I assume.

I can't tell you how happy I am to find such a lovingly created epub version of the Raven edition. These are the volumes I read and eventually owned growing up, and now I needn't worry about troubling their cracked bindings and cabbage-thick pages.
Thanks again! By the way, crich: The "five-volume omnibus" on Gutenberg is probably the same raw text used for pynch's edition (since the Raven edition is in five volumes, is part of the Gutenberg library and is the only such five-volume set listed), so I suspect you've both created different versions from the same source. But how exactly are five volumes that comprise Poe's collected works an omnibus in the sense of being one volume, if the epub edition in question reproduces the order and formatting of those separate volumes within a kind of meta-volume? You have not only individual works collected, but, at least in Pynch's case, the volumes of the complete collection intact. Besides which, an omnibus needn't be complete. I happen to prefer complete works or collected works if the book in question does not consist of certain previously published books by one writer or an anthology of related books by a few. My edition of three novels by Thomas Love Peacock is an omnibus, but Peacock wrote far more books than that. Last edited by Prestidigitweeze; 06-16-2012 at 03:08 PM. |

Today is the 164th anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe's death. Maybe just the right time to have a look at this pioneer of American Romanticism once again. |

Update | v.2.0 | 8 May 2016
I have added the Literary Criticism (The Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe, vols. 8-13, ed. by James A. Harrison, Thomas Y. Crowell & Company 1902, including the editorial matter), the Letters (The Letters of Edgar Allan Poe, 2nd edition, 2 vols., ed. by J. W. Ostrom, The Gordian Press 1966), and the missing Miscellanea (from the first publications). I have also included the original 160 autographs for “Autography” and “A Chapter on Autography.”
Expect proofed versions of the tales and A. Gordon Pym soon. |

Update | v.2.1 | 23 Apr 2017
Only slightly later than announced, here they are:
I have replaced the tales and novels with the critical texts from www.eapoe.org (Collected Works of Edgar Allan Poe, Vol. 2 & 3: Tales and Sketches, ed. by Thomas Ollive Mabbott, Cambridge & London, 1978; The Collected Writings of Edgar Allan Poe, Vol. 1: The Imaginary Voyages, ed. by Burton R. Pollin, New York, 1994) and proofed them against scans of their copy-texts. I have tried to make sure they follow the critical editions by also checking Mabbott’s and Pollin’s emendations. About 470 mistakes in the eapoe.org-digitisation were corrected. Please let me know if you find any mistakes. There are, in the critical editions, about 200 deviations from the copy-texts which are not recorded in the list of variants, half of which I would call mistakes (the rest may be silent emendations). All of them are hidden in the code and appear if you delete “display: none; ” in the stylesheet specifications for the <ins> element. (If you do the same for the <del> element, you will get the page numbers for the tales, the novels, the criticism, and the letters.) There isn’t much left of the original Raven Edition (sorry, P’weeze), but I think the critical texts would be preferred by most people. |

Thanks for collecting these works together!
This is just a brief thanks for collecting and collating Poe's works in one place. Though there are numerous multi-volume editions (Raven, Stone & Kimball, Croker/John Murray, etc.), and an 80 MB (yet incomplete) Archive.org epub of the 1938 Random House edition, you've produced a useful compilation that is easy to read and reference in almost any device.
