Edward H Davidson Knihy

Here is the second edition of a clear and succinct volume that offers practical solutions to problems likely to be encountered by medical students, interns, nurses, and many other health professionals. Two new sections, one on clinical signs and symptoms, and one on geriatric medicine have been added, while existing material has been extensively rewritten. When used in conjunction with its companion title Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialities, the full range of clinical medicine is covered.

As unquestioned master of the "grotesque and arabesque", early 19th-century writer Edgar Allan Poe is fully represented in this classic collection originally published under the title SELECTED WRITINGS. David Galloway's Introduction reveals Poe not only as a complex personality and one of America's most exotic writers, but also as an individual who engaged in an astonishing variety of interests.

The "Poe myth" notwithstanding, Edgar Allan Poe was neither a drunkard, a dope fiend, nor a rake, says Edward H. Davidson in his introduction to this abundant collection of Poe's work: poetry, short stories, critical essays, and the complete Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym. In addition to an analysis of the century- old "Poe myth," Professor Davidson provides a penetrating examination of Poe's work in each genre, a Selected Bibliography, a Poe Chronology, an index, and notes on the texts. --back cover
