Edgar Allen Poe Complete Collection?

Hello, I was wondering if there was ever published a COMPLETE collection of all of Poe's works? This includes his poems, short stories, and most important - his essays. I always find books with his short stories and poems together, but it's hard to find a book with his essays. Is there a book with his essays exclusively??

hello. and YES there is a volume of Poe's complete works! I obtained it on a birthday, a couple of years back. Mine is printed in paperback, yet is weighty. good luck with your search, Poe is a man unto himself.
Edgar Allen Poe Complete Collection?
A few suggestions...





Poe, Edgar Allan. The Works of Edgar Allen Poe, Incl. the Choicest of His Critical Essays. With a Study of His Life and Writings from the French of Charles Baudelaire. London: Chatto %26amp; Windus, 1872.





Poe, Edgar Allan. The Works of Edgar Allan Poe, in One Volume: Poems, Tales, Essays, Criticisms, with New Notes. New York: P.F. Collier, 1927.





Poe, Edgar Allan, and Hervey Allen. The Best Known Works of Edgar Allan Poe: Poems, Tales, Essays, Criticisms. New York: Blue Ribbon Books, 1927.





To locate these I searched the WorldCat database

Reply:I got it at barnes and nobles in their bargain book section for twenty dollars. It's his complete works, every short story, essay, and poem he's ever written.
Reply:There are at least three multi volume works that claim to have all of the works of Poe. The one that comes closest is The Virginia Edition (also known as the Harrison edition because it was edited by a man whose last name was Harrison.) This one is a collector's edition and is relatively expensive.





I believe there are scholars at work on a new complete edition of Poe, but it has been slow going.
