POE PERCEPTIONS:
A Webpage by Elizabeth A. Rose
Welcome to a webpage devoted to Edgar Allan Poe -- the "father" of the detective story genre, an American literary genius we can credit with refining and tightening the short story into the form we know today, and the most fascinating of literary minds you'll ever encounter! Certainly not the depraved madman and reprobate of legend, Poe was actually a gifted, ambitious writer, an analytical editor and critic, and a proud, cultured man. While his short, blighted life as "perpetual orphan" may intrigue us, his works stand alone and speak best for him.
