G. R. Thompson , Washington State University
In this, the first full-length critical work to reconcile the comic
and Gothic faces of Edgar Allan Poe, G.
R.
Thompson argues
brilliantly and fairly for a new approach to Poe's works. In his
admirably lucid style, Thompson demonstrates that Poe was not
merely a Gothic showman, or only a clever satirist, but a
stunningly complex psychological and philosophical writer
in the dark tradition .

Margot Peters, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater
This is the first full-length study to come to terms with the
highly idiosyncratic style of Charlotte Bronte. Peters makes
intelligent use of the tools of linguistic analysis, while
producing a lucid, sensitive, and eloquent study, illuminating
not only the Bronte fictional style but the novelist's personality
and central preoccupations as well.
