Reviews

It's long been recognized that the spirited female characters of Poe's imagination could not stay buried, no matter how poetical their deaths might be. But this fascinating volume charts new territory by enabling recognition of the actual women who championed, confronted, and adapted Poe's work - including biographers who defended it, scholars who interpreted it in new ways, and storytellers who continue to trace the subversive power of Poe's heroines in film and other media.--Susan Elizabeth Sweeney, Distinguished Professor of Arts and Humanities at the College of the Holy Cross Poe and Women is a fascinating exploration of over a century of women artists, editors, translators, and scholars dedicated to and inspired by Poe. Written in a readable style and beautifully edited, Poe and Women is a valuable resource on women's creative and intellectual responses to Poe's life and work.--Dana Medoro, professor of English, University of Manitoba
