About This Item
1881 Edgar Allan POE 1st ed The Bells Esoteric Occult Horror Literature Poetry
Edgar Allan Poe's "The Bells" is a posthumously published poem that uses rhythmic repetition to depict the varied emotions evoked by the sounds of bells. Through its four sections, it captures a life's journey from joy to sorrow. The poem is celebrated for its onomatopoeic style and deep reflections on human experiences. Its rhythmic patterns shift engagingly and are thought to be inspired by bells at Fordham University, near Poe's residence.
This edition is further enhanced with 22 black and white illustrations throughout.
