The Rationale of Deception in Poe (Southern Literary Studies) by Ketterer, David - 1979

Baton Rouge, LA, U.S.A.: Louisiana State University Press, 1979. This study of Poe's writing focuses on the issue of deception in order to clarify what the author views as the most consistent and dominant aspect of his work, the idea that our perception of reality and our existence itself is a deception (black cloth with red lettering on spine and red end papers; black dust jacket with red lettering has a few edge tears and chips; otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy; in stock & available for immediate shipment from a reliable independent bookstore). Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.
