Short Stories

Biographies

Meltzer's analysis includes perceptive discussions of issues such as Poe's troubled relationship with his foster father and the probable causes and disastrous effects of Poe's alcoholism. More than most other biographers for young people, Meltzer places his subject within the framework of his society. Readers will come away not only with a greater knowledge of Poe's life and accomplishments but also a clearer picture of American life in the first half of the nineteenth century.
