Autor

Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and of American literature as a whole, and he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story. William Wymark Jacobs was an English author of short stories and novels. During his career he was best known for his farcical comedies involving dockside and rural Essex characters. E. T. A. Hoffmann was a German Romantic author of fantasy and Gothic horror, a jurist, composer, music critic and artist. Hoffmann's stories highly influenced 19th-century literature, and he is one of the major authors of the Romantic movement. Howard Phillips Lovecraft was an American writer of weird fiction and horror fiction. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, he spent most of his life there, and his fiction was primarily set against a New England backdrop. Robert Louis Stevenson was a Scottish novelist and travel writer, most noted for Treasure Island, Kidnapped, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and A Child's Garden of Verses.
