DEATH OF EDGAR A. POE by N. P. Willis

Nathaniel Parker Willis was the most famous and well-paid magazine writers of his time. He worked with Edar Allan Poe

What I Think of These Three Writers by Edgar Allen Poe

What I Think of These Three Writers by Edgar Allen Poe OF WILLIS, BRYANT, HALLECK, AND MACAULAY Whatever may be thought of Mr. Willis’s talents, there can be no doubt about the fact that, both as an author and as a man, he has made a good deal of noise in the world—at least for […]
