Ligeia - Edgar Allan Poe

Read the works of Edgar Allan Poe.

"'Ligeia' was first published in the 18 September, 1838, edition of American Museum and was edited by two of Poe's friends--Dr. N.C. Brooks and Dr. J. E. Snodgrass. Poe received $10 from the magazine for 'Ligeia' and 'The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym.'"

"A tale of terror may contribute to enhancing a reader's humanity - as do all valuable works of art - by exercising and improving his perceptions and perspectives, his sympathies and self - awareness; only so far may such a tale perform an ethically valuable function."

"Although the movement began more than 130 years ago, readers today are still trying to define the highly complex genre known as American Romanticism."
