No wonder, for a study of the man and his writings reveals paradox after paradox. Here perhaps is one key to the paradox of Poe’s art: He was a great artist because he was a great craftsman. He did not believe that art was a spontaneous outflowing of genius but rather a designed effect. The dozen stories in this collection represent the entire range of his astonishing imagination. They include all of his best-known tales as well as several which are, because of their horrific originality, no less deserving of recognition.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55819576574331,"sku":"10609052","price":14.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_490790_jpg.jpg?v=1759847726","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/selected-tales-by-edgar-allan-poe-oxford-1967","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
