In this book, Charity McAdams discusses how Edgar Allan Poe uses music to set the scenes of his stories and poems. McAdams shows how the musical ideas used by Poe mimic the ways other authors, particularly Romanticists, used music in their works to represent a spiritually ideal artistic realm, and ultimately, how we can look at Poe's poems and stories through music to unpack the mysticism of Poe's work.
