Description: Edgar Allan Poe (1809—49) staked a large claim in that unmappable interior territory where poetry merges with dream and vision. His exquisitely musical poems provide us with a direct link to our unconscious life. Through his obsessions, and by virtue of his uncanny imaginative instincts, he anticipated many of the psychological contexts and concerns that inhabit — and indeed define — twentieth-century literature.
