| Summary: | "Description: The Political Poe re-examines the collective works of Edgar Allan Poe through a political lens. While other scholars have gestured at the politics of Poe and his corpus, there has never been a sustained, book-length analysis on the subject. The time is now: Poe's reflection of, and reaction against, Jacksonian America-with its drift into populism, demagoguery, and what Poe felt was an unhinged politicization of everyday life-speaks very directly to the concerns of a contemporary American audience"-- Provided by publisher. |
