Publisher Description: This antiquarian volume contains Edgar Allen Poe's 1839 short story, "William Wilson". Inspired by his time spent living in the suburbs of London, Poe's uncanny story tells the tale of William Wilson and his doppelg nger. The two boys look and move similarly, and when one leaves school, the other does the same. The only difference between the two is their moral code, a disparity that eventually leads to a fatal incident in later life. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American author, editor, poet, and critic. Most famous for his stories of mystery and horror, he was one of the first American short story writers, and is widely considered to be the inventor of the detective fiction genre. Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. |
