Description: "This edition puts Eureka in context, explaining Poe's excellent grasp of then-new developments in astronomy, his often-prescient considerations of what was known and what might come next. (Poe is especially good on space-time) and the close connections between Eureka and the thought and attitudes of his era." "Through extensive annotations this edition of Eureka demonstrates intimate connections with Poe's poetry, fiction, and criticism; with his career and aspirations, his humor and satire; and with his love of grand literary effects."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 169-175) and index.
