Poe's 'philosophy of furniture' and the aesthetics of fictional design / C.T. Walters -- Race, pirates, and intellect : a reading of Poe's "The gold-bug" / John F. Jebb -- Storytelling, narrative authority, and death in 'The thousand and second tale of Scheherazade' / James M. Hutchisson -- The man in the text : desire, masculinity, and the development of Poe's detective fiction / Peter Goodwin -- Gothic displacements : Poe's south in Politian / Amy C. Branam -- Poe in the ragged mountains : environmental history and romantic aesthetics / Daniel J. Phillipon -- 'King pest' and 'The tales of the Folio Club' / Benjamin F. Fisher -- Understanding 'Why the little Frenchman wears his hand in a sling' / Kevin J. Hayes -- 'Eyes which behold' : Poe's 'Domain of Arnheim' and the science of vision / Laura Saltz -- 'A species of literature almost beneath contempt' : Edgar Allan Poe and the world of literary competitions / Leon Jackson -- Poe's early criticism of American fiction : the Southern literary messenger and the fiction of Robert Montgomery Bird / Justin Wert -- Mad ravings or sound thinking? : the philosophy of composition and Poe's parodic raven / Dennis W. Eddings.
Most frequently regarded as a writer of the supernatural, Poe was actually among the most versatile of American authors, writing social satire, comic hoaxes, mystery stories, science fiction, prose poems, literary criticism and theory, and even a play. As a journalist and editor, Poe was closely in touch with the social, political, and cultural trends of nineteenth-century America. In Edgar Allan Poe: Beyond Gothicism, twelve authors examine this ''other'' Poe.
