In Fallen Angel, acclaimed novelist and poet Robert Morgan offers a new biography of this gifted, complicated author. Focusing on Poe's personal relationships, Morgan chronicles how several women influenced his life and art. Eliza Poe, his mother, died before he turned three, but she haunted him ever after. The loss of Elmira Royster Shelton, his first and last love, devastated him and inspired much of his poetry. Morgan shows that Poe, known for his gothic and supernatural writing, was also a poet of the natural world who helped invent the detective story, science fiction, analytical criticism, and symbolist aesthetics. Though he died at age forty, Poe left behind works of great originality and vision that Fallen Angel explores with depth and feeling"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Poe, Edgar Allan, $d 1809-1849. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 19th century $v Biography. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Morgan, Robert, 1944- $t Fallen angel $d Baton Rouge : Louisiana State University Press, 2023 $z 9780807181072 $w (DLC) 2023020214 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403012145.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305022628.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1574F838C7E211EEBA5B122F2FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
