Poe's Warrior Women and Their Melancholy Men

In Edgar Allan Poe's life, the loss of significant women was a tragic recurrent theme. How did these losses impact the women who populated his fiction? Not as you might think! Author, educator and Poe scholar Dawn B. Sova, Ph.D., delivers a wry, feminist interpretation of the indefatigable, powerful personalities of the women in Poe's stories, who--even from the grave--often decide the fate of their mournful men. Among her many published works, Sova wrote Edgar Allan Poe, A to Z, which won the 2002 Mystery Writers of America "Edgar" Award for Best Critical/Biographical Work. Preregistration recommended.
