"Professor Frederick Clarke Prescott, without the precedent of any previous single-volume edition of Poe's criticism, winnowed out the best of Poe's critical thought for [this work]...[designed] as a teaching edition for college or secondary school use, he presented selections chronologically, largely for the purpose of acquainting the student with the development of Poe's generic concepts. As yet, no one volume of Poe's criticism offers so much in a workable form." (new preface by Dameron)
