Annotated Bibliography

Magestral, Anthony S., and Frederick, Frank S. Poe Encyclopedia. Greenwood Press. 1997

This source is an encyclopedia relating to anything and everything there is to know about Edgar

Allan Poe. This book lists things about Poe’s life, poetry, and all other literature written by Poe. I plan on using this reference for its background information on Poe’s poem “Annabel Lee”.

Magestral, Tony. Student Companion to Edgar Allen Poe. Greenwood Press. 2001

This source is as the title suggests a student companion to Poe. This book provides biographical information about Poe’s life, as well as analysis of his works. I will be using this source to help show that the death of the women in his poetry is a direct reflection of the deaths of the two most important women in his life (his mother Elizabeth, and his child bride Virginia).

The Crystal Reference Encyclopedia. Poe, Edgar Allen (19 January 1809 – 7 October 1849).

Credo Reference. 2011

This source is a biographical reference of Poe’s life from birth to death. This source is essential for writing my paper, because it gives insight to the deaths of Elizabeth and Virginia. It also shows how Poe’s life was filled with tragedy and heartbreak, much like his writings.
