Edgar Allan Poe is widely acknowledged as being a literary genius and is probably the most versatile writer in the history of western literature. During his tragically short lifetime he wrote poetry, short stories, novels, magazine and newspaper articles and literary criticisms. He invented the detective novel, was an early writer of science fiction and is credited with being the first person to have set out a 'big bang' theory of the origin of the Universe in his 1848 publication of Eureka.
Here you will find a selection of quality gift items which have been inspired by Poe and his writings. Much of the artwork is the work of Harry Clarke, a brilliant Irish artist who also led a tragically short life. Clarke is well known as both a book illustrator and a stained glass maker and he excelled at both. In his illustrations of Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination Clarke produces images which are haunting, gruesome and in some cases downright terrifying.
From calendars, posters, journals and cards to iphone and Kindle covers to mugs, ornaments at tee-shirts we have lots for you to choose from and everything is fully covered by the CafePress 30-day money-back guarantee.
