X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><em>About the author:</em></p>\n<p><strong
 >Richard Kopley</strong>&nbsp\;is Distinguished Professor of English Emeri
 tus at Penn State DuBois\, the author and editor of numerous books on Poe 
 and American literature\, and recipient of&nbsp\;the 2018 Lifetime Achieve
 ment &amp\; Service Award from the Poe Studies Association.</p>\n<p><em><s
 trong>Edgar Allan Poe: A Life</strong></em>&nbsp\;is the most comprehensiv
 e critical biography of Poe yet produced\, exploring his fascinating life\
 , his extraordinary work\, and the vital relationship between the two. Bes
 t known for his tales of mystery and the macabre found in such works as &l
 dquo\;The Raven\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;Annabel Lee\,&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;The Te
 ll-Tale Heart\,&rdquo\; this legendary American author continues to intrig
 ue and enthrall his devoted readers. Written by one of the world&rsquo\;s 
 leading Poe experts\, this biography is a rich and rewarding study for the
  general reader as well as for the seasoned scholar. Richard Kopley combin
 es a biographical narrative of Poe&rsquo\;s enduring challenges&mdash\;inc
 luding his difficult foster father\, his personal losses\, his great strug
 gles with depression and alcoholism\, and the poverty that dogged his exis
 tence&mdash\;with close readings of his work that focus not only on plot\,
  character\, and theme but also on language\, allusion\, and structure in 
 a way that enhances our understanding of both. While incorporating past Po
 e scholarship\, this volume also relates unknown stories of Poe culled fro
 m privately held letters unavailable to previous biographers\, presenting 
 a range of groundbreaking archival discoveries that illuminate the man and
  his oeuvre in ways never before possible.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><strong><em>Bo
