– Poe, ‘The Bells’

Edgar Allan Poe is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and American literature, and he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story. Poe is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. One of Poe’s lesser-known works was ‘The Murders in the Rue Morgue’ but has since been considered the first modern detective story.

This 1932 Grosset and Dunlap edition was published to coincide with the release of the 1932 movie of the same title. This example features a facsimile dust jacket.
