Edgar Allan Poe's poem "Lenore" explores the aftermath of a young woman's death through the perspective of her fiancé, Guy de Vere, who celebrates her ascension to the afterlife, a departure from Poe's typical themes of melancholy surrounding the loss of Lenore. This work suggests the possibility of reunion in the afterlife, a recurring motif in Poe's writings. Some speculate that "Lenore" reflects Poe's personal emotions related to his wife's illness or serves as an ode to his late brother, William Henry Leonard Poe.

CONDITION: Please look through every photo to notice condition. The book is overall, in good condition but does have issues consistent with it's age. The exterior corners and edges show slight wear, interior shows cracked spine in areas, these areas are documented in the photos. The copyright page shows a smudge. There are 2 pages towards the back that were used to press flowers and this has stained the page and the flowers and leaves are still intact and lay preserved between the pages. This was probably a remembrance.
