As far as the events of his career illustrate the enigmatic character of his genius, we have, perhaps, a right to inquire about them. We may imagine that from parents of semi-Celtic stock and artistic profession he inherited his genius, and that his pride and perversity came from his training by a wealthy injudicious foster-father. But the legend or myth of his errors and misfortunes, so often told and retold by posthumous malice, or by too fond indulgence, is really no affair of ours. Poe’s career is still a topic that excites controversy in America.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54966285271419,"sku":"10214571","price":8.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_485312_jpg.jpg?v=1737455317","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/the-poems-of-edgar-allan-poe-dent-1927","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
