Giuliano Reads Poe Echoes of the Crypt

By: Edgar Allan Poe

Narrated by: Geoffrey Giuliano, Icon players

Length: 31 mins

Publisher's summary

Poe’s stature as a major figure in world literature is based on his ingenious and profound poems, which established a highly influential rationale for the short form in poetry. Poe was also the principal forerunner of the “art for art’s sake” movement in 19th century literature. He demonstrated a brilliant command of language and technique as well as an inspired and original imagination. Poe’s poetry greatly influenced the French Symbolists of the late 19th century, who in turn altered the direction of modern literature.

Here, perhaps, is his most icon lauded work as interpreted by veteran actor Giuliano. They include:

"The Raven"

"City in the Sea Edgar"

"Alone"

"Dream Within a Dream"

"The Haunted Palace"

"The Valley of Unrest"
